Silence

Today I started thinking about all the different types of silence:

Prolonged silence
Agonizing silence
Ominous silence
Deafening silence
Sweet silence
Perfect silence
Persistent silence
Allusive silence
Awkward silence
Heavy silence
Mandated silence
Eerie silence
Unpredictable silence
Customary silence
Relentless silence
Unremarkable silence
Deathly silence
Aggrivating silence
Uncharacteristic silence
Overwhelming silence.

What's the most remarkable, is that we hear nothing so differently.




(For my compleate list, keep reading...)

There is prolonged silence, agonizing silence, destructive silence, determined silence, devious silence, ominous silence, deafening silence, sweet silence, perfect silence, persistent silence, and preoccupied silence.

Silence can also be delayed, utter, total, complete, antagonistic, persuasive, allusive, leading, fishing, breathtaking, and flabbergasted.

It can be uncertain, encompassing, choking, heart-stopping, fearful, awkward, hurtful, evasive, heavy, historical, deliberate, petrifying, mandated, or presumptuous.

It can be painstaking, eerie, contemplative, unpredictable, hostile, or customary.

There is relentless, continuous, dumbfounded, pneumatic, echoed, unremarkable, impenetrable, lasting, deathly, baseless, unjustifiable, deliberate, and agreeable silence.

There is forced, heavy, arbitrary, calculated, explosive, aggravating, embellished, empowering, oppressive, impressive, courteous accommodating, or conditional.

It can be contractual, looming, compulsive, aggravating, intense, unprecedented, uncharacteristic, unencumbered, incremental, controversial, earnest, effective, emerging, diminished, undeniable, collaborative, irrelevant, passive, tangible, hostile, or tense.
