Silence

Here is a riddle see if you can follow along:
After I say “because” I want you to say “no one gives a damn”
I obliterate things because “no one gives a damn.”
I am the Disaster  
I will deceive you because “no one gives a damn”
 I am the Trick
I creep around your conscience because “no one gives a damn”
I am Insidious
If you asked what I was 
I wouldn’t answer because “no one gives a damn”   
I am Silence 
 	
	I don’t respond to silence, I don’t even think it counts as a stimulus. For your brain to ever come to an output there must be some input. I think that utilizing your body and voice is way more powerful and necessary than to watch on silently. 
George Benard Shaw:
“Indifference is the essence of inhumanity”.
