The task of a creative person is to notice and describe something for others. Not everyone is able to fully understand their own feelings. Others cannot adequately express their feelings or ideas. Some people just don't have the courage to do so. In any case, the reader will immediately know the truth in person when he sees it.

Someone is singing downstairs. That is, he does not even sing, but shouts out the words of the song. All these people who need their TV to shout constantly. Or a radio or a turntable. All these people who are frightened by the silence. These are my neighbors. Sound-goliks. Silence is a phobia.
