witness

i read about this room the other day.
some lab in some awesomely rich country created the world's quietest room.
the write up said one could hear own ear making sounds.
yes you read that correctly.
in the complete absence of sound our ear makes sounds to maintain itself.
imagine that.
the write up said that the one could hear his own blood passing through his veins.
powerful ?
no one could survive the room for more than an hour.
the person who did last that one hour felt wobbly after that hour and intensely anxious during that time.

we need sound
we need touch
we need light

we need to be validated

we need to be told that we exist
all the time

we need to feel that we make a difference
we need to feel we count

we need to feel the someone somewhere will be affected if we were to die
we need to feel that someone needs us

we need to feel that someone somewhere thinks about us
we all have a wish that someone watches us as we go about our life

we all need a spectator
we all need a witness to our life.
