Words are warts, death is inevitable, burn a candle and drop it.

I can be read as an insensitive prick that is throwing a rant.

In my paper, I would try and bring out instances where we abuse speech through gossip, instances
where the human is all too ingrained in himself moving about where they shouldn't and speaking when
they shouldn't. This paper attempts to shed some light on that intermediary space between speech and
silence.

There is this consistency of a certain imagery used in the movie... With different set of emotions
sprawled out throughout the screenplay, odd hues and undertones, the picture is pretty direct with
instances of disagreements, contradictions and tensions that arise due to the breakdown of an already
existing idea of communication that is very normative. With the many odd colors of life shown through
the struggles of each character, the movie tries to depict various other forms of expressions that are
otherwise completely ignored, for me the eye catching moment, one that brings in a different form of
expression is when the screen is washed in blue and immersed in water.
Suddenly everyone becomes an equal it seems, both Sara and Leeds are now levelled up! Both of them
occupying the same plane, feeling the same thick layer of water around them, feeling the same
vibrations that can travel

and communicate only through this medium.


I think, It is in these frames of clarity that the intimacy within them is clearly brought out, neither of them
have an upper hand, neither of them can speak, all they can do is listen to the emptiness within them
calling out the each other's name to fill the void! How romantic?

I believe, one should take a swim in the sea. Its good for a person to jump into the water once in awhile,
float on the surface like a buoy, swim around a bit, soak yourself up and then ultimately, get submerged
under a thick layer of water, soundproofing you from the rest of the world. Of course you can even do it
in a pool, or maybe even if you were to submerge your head inside a bucket, I think, it is when we are
deprived of certain sensory information that we become vulnerable, and in that vulnerability when all
ego is defeated because there is nothing of that sorts for the ego to feed on. I think, there, in that
moment we might be able to actually look inside our minds and see for ourselves, the immense depth
of silence within us staring dead into our face. It's not a scary picture you see, with all the collusion out
of the way, we are now free to experience intimate moments with ourselves, it is more like going out on
a date with yourself.

Someone stole this idea from me, capitalized it, and now they have sensory deprivation tanks and
floating chambers on sale all over the internet.

Silence to me is like an abyss somewhere in the mind before the process of perception, something that
is there but is ignored because the brain now has now developed mechanisms overtime to cope with
deprivation, techniques and methods redefined to cross and make connections with the other side
without having to jump into this abyss. Silence is in that space, between the stimuli and the stimulant,
before an instinctual association that your mind makes with reality, as it is generating itself through
language.

It can be felt in that moment when you dissociate from all the noise inside and outside of your head that
is telling you to, conform, perform and respond.

Floating is about creating a unique experience for the brain in which it is now confronted, for the first
time in it's existence, a lack of sensory input.

We must suppress in ourselves the desire to speak about ourselves. It may not be entirely true but more
often do we find our selves, under the disguise of public interest swaying into other people's problems,
often ending up talking about our own. Most of us talk for the sake of talking, we often have long
conversations about random things with strangers on the internet, we also like to indulge ourselves in
obscene talks which most of the time have no inherent value, we stop by on every next Facebook post
to lol at it, we also like to show our sensitive sides on social media by sharing posts of poor African kids
and war crime victims, an act that make no difference in this information era, what must be noted is that
most of these conversations and actions are very egoistical, the very nature of which is to boost our own
personal morale.

Let me elaborate on it a bit more, when something terrible happens as in when there is a tragedy, we
see everyone running to their favorite social media platforms, the collective consciousness fires up
almost instantaneously and everyone is out there on the internet doing the same thing, offering their '
thought's and prayers ' to the victims.

"My thoughts and prayers" with the victims in Syria, with the victims on MH307, with the malnourished
kid in Liberia, with the people of North Korea.

Do you want to know what its all worth??
