You have made a religion of noise.
You have made noise a religion.
Your relationship with noise and the environments that generate it is religious.
The noise is audible, but also visual, tactile, gustatory…
Noise is sensory saturation with the aim of filling, masking, concealing,
Noise is also an organizational gesture, a saturated, overflowing schedule,
Noise and intoxication, noise is intoxication: getting drunk on illusions.
In these noisy environments, you gather together (shopping centers, gyms, nightclubs, bars, football matches, …and commune together in the very short-term buffering of anxieties).
Of this religion of noise, you have become the fervent apostles: loud music in transport, in the street, on the beach..
Your nature abhors silence
From intoxication, you are proselytes and seek to make the hesitant plunge, to make the fragile waver: “come on, it’s not for a single drink….» Alcohol is a search for saturation, also and above all.
Noise is also cognitive, you saturate with thoughts, concepts,
and your neural pathways are flooded with noise.
From there, your very relationship to religions, to the so-called ‘spiritual domain’ is only noise.
And you’re drowning in words, concepts, activities, experiences, encounters.
