Shhhh

I think one of the things that causes stress might be noise. There is almost always some kind of noise and it's usually right in your face noise. Our brains do a good job of filtering sounds out of our consciousness but it seems like giving it a break once in a while would be good for it. Very seldom do we get to hear a distant sound and wonder what it is but it seems like that is a big part of what the brain is (was) suppose to do. I mean the caveman that could hear an approaching stampede, picture it and quickly climb a tree had a better chance of passing on his DNA than the one that hears the same noise and just goes back to scratching his armpit.
