Silence is only meaningful if there's sound to define it, so if you love one, you gotta love the other, unless you're weird or something.
On the other hand, sometimes you can get a certain "stillness" out of a wall of sound/noise/relentless energy/whatever that is so....solid that it might as well be silence, since nothing is gonna either come in or go out of it. But that silence of noise exists on another plane than does the silence of quiet (which if you really think about it, is a bit of a misconception, because where is there ever total "quiet", and really is that not a sound unto itself, like "black" is perceived as a color even though it's defined as the total absence of color, and for htat matter so is "white", which is the sum total of all colors, right? so once again, we're back to rhythm, the rhythm between "sound" and "silence", because if there's one, sure enough there will be the other (unless and until the world as we know it ceases to exist) and there's a rhythm to every sequence of events, maybe not a "regular" rhythm, but once "A" is followed by "B" you've established both an expectation/conclusion and a space in between, and if that's not rhythm, then what is?)
Are my parenthesis balanced?
