In "Tuesdays with Morrie," Mitch Albom explores the idea of silence and its impact on human interactions. Morrie Schwartz raises the question of why silence often brings discomfort to people. He suggests that many individuals fear silence because it forces them to confront their thoughts and emotions, leading to vulnerability and uncertainty.

Moreover, the noise in our lives serves as a distraction from these deeper feelings. It provides a sense of comfort and security, allowing people to avoid introspection and the potential pain that may come from it. Hence, the contrast between silence and noise highlights a profound aspect of human nature, revealing our struggle between the need for connection and the fear of confronting our inner selves.
