"Sometimes the sound of silence is the most deafening sound of all." - K.L Toth I still think the mind is the greatest battlefield, a place where countless victories and defeats are continuously recorded. A place where the deadliest battles, though fought in silence can yet be the most deafening. Have you ever found yourself sitting in a lonely place, thinking over a problem and it is as if you can literally hear your thoughts crashing onto each other? So stressed, you are hardly able to tell one thought from the other, it all becomes so chaotic and loud? Do you sometime have people talking around you or even to you, yet you can't seem to hear them?
