Ignoring the silence

We want something, we all think we do, but is it really what we want? We want it because we listen to our families, friends, their families and strangers, they tell us what we want, we listen to the voices inside our head and ignore the silence. The silence whispers what we really want, it doesn't pester, force or burdens us with lies, it lets us breathe and that's why it is beautiful, that's why it is the truth and that's why it is what we want-Silence. But we ignore it, because it isn't loud. Because hammering voices tell us that whatever is loud must be the truth. I remember reading somewhere that whenever in doubt, do a coin toss, in the time the coin is in air, you will know what you want, no one said how you narrow your choices down to two or how you make sure the choices you have are really yours. Even if one finds, what one truly wants using the above trick, will he/she choose to pursue that or choose to ignore the silence? Ignore the silence I think, we are trained that way. Ignoring the silence, if you can learn it, is a neat trick in itself, after all problems arise when there is a conflict but if you learn to ignore one side, it's not a problem anymore, is it? The way I see it we have two options, one is to learn to ignore the silence, let the voices in completely, continue in the set frameworks, generations have continued in, won't be easy, all of us are introspective, but that is what is to be learned-ignorance, won't be too hard either, we are already half way there, we understand there will be minor lapses but that's not an issue, ignorance ain't hard, we are programmed for it; the other is for the adventurous type, ready to embrace the silence, ignore the voices, for the ones ready to give it a shot, the ones who are ready to brave all the inconvenience of listening to the silence, the ones ready to face the chance of a failure.

The choice is ours, that is if there is really a choice.
