On Any Given Day

I can be as euphonious as anyone else under the right circumstances. Mellow, laid back and perhaps just a little too laid back. But I say, why not be? For the most part, in my corner of the world, I don’t have a reason to be boisterous, indignant or obtusive. Why be all that and spoil my day? Or spoil a day for those who may be around me?

Yet, there are those moments that surface, where I cannot contain my gall, my utter audacity at the stupidity of people, and it pains me to hold these feeling back, where my insides want to explode. If only there were some type of pill stupid people could take that would stop then from making such an utter ass of themself; I wouldn’t get riled up.

But there is a third thing. The simplistic ability of shutting off my phone, turning off my computer, unplugging my television. Then, I never have to contend with being euphonious or cacaphonous. Quiet can be such a melodious feeling.

That third thing is absolute silence.

cacophonous - involving or producing a harsh, discordant mixture of sounds.

euphonious - (of sound, especially speech) pleasing to the ear.
