The Noise Is Winning
The battle between peace and chaos is not going well. We may soon determine if the meek shall indeed inherit the earth.
There is little peace remaining in our world.
Noise has infiltrated every facet of our lives. The Trojan horse of senses, noise enters our ears while our brains are completely unaware of its nefarious intentions.
Slowly … noise nibbles away at our sanity.
The battle between noise and peace is waged in social media, on the evening news, along congested streets, in overcrowded classrooms and entitled neighborhoods. As values and priorities shift, noise is pulling ahead in the race.
With the thunder of countless opinions seeking an audience, important voices are not heard over the roar of information overload. The loudest declarations are not always the wisest.
Our days and our homes are filled with more. More food, more entertainment, more information.
Technology connects us instantly to the clamor of more ideas, opinions and news from around the world. The space and time available for judiciousness, generosity and reason are diminishing.
Truth is less significant than haste.
