Abstract
Why are we sometimes unable to speak to others? In our societies, why are we sometimes unable to communicate - or, communicate truthfully or effectively? We are thrown into cities, let's say, teeming with unimportant people, blank faces, uncaring, hurrying, where sounds of movement and presence drown out sounds of communication - speech, dialogue, laughter. Perhaps we ride an elevator, one in a group who stares at ascending numbers, or likewise on the bus, we stare forward, conscious of the tension of silence.
