Storm And Silence Vk

[Vespasiano Jilg]

I lived away from most human contact for about six years. No roads went past my property, and only one road led to it. I spent hours every day in silence, walking or meditating. I knew that the noise of modern life can affect our health, but I had no idea what that meant until day after day of living in the quiet slowly unspooled my nerves and gave me back to myself.

Though I wish everyone could have that experience, I know not everyone can retreat into the wilderness. However, I know from experience we can find quiet and calm above the noise of life, wherever we live. It just takes a little training.

Try this: Close your eyes for a few seconds and recall something big and dramatic that got your attention: a superhero movie, a Presidential election, a hard-fought football game on TV. Remember the shouting, crashing, loud music, and bright images. Then come back to these words. Go.

Now close your eyes again. This time, remember a moment in your life when nothing was happening. Really, nothing. Maybe you once went into the office early and sat sipping a cup of coffee before anyone else arrived. Maybe you can recall the blessed stillness when your sick baby finally calmed and fell asleep. What came up for me was a day I pooch-sat five large dogs. They played, barked, bayed, and roughhoused furiously for an hour or so. Then they dozed off all around me. I sat there for a while, just listening to the faint, sweet sound of their breathing. That quiet is calming me down right now.

Finally, try this: Listen to whatever is happening around you. Maybe you can hear city traffic, or people talking, or silverware clinking. Notice that. And then notice that all these sounds are taking place in a field of silence. In the wee hours of the morning, when the noise may be gone, the silence will remain. Listen for it. Listen to it.

After moving back from the wilderness, I went through a period of hating human noise. I could feel my health declining, my attention fragmenting, and my mood souring. But then I remembered that my attention is mine to direct and that by simply finding silence within me, I could move back into those calming days under the oak trees. Again and again, I made a point of remembering quiet when I felt bothered by noise. And I found that the quiet in my mind was as beautiful as the quiet of the forest.

The first time a player is silenced, their chat will be restricted for 24 hours. This duration will double for each silence penalty received after the first, and there is no maximum. This means that players who receive multiple silence penalties may find themselves unable to chat for a long time.

When initially cast, Chaos Storm silences enemy champions within its radius for 0.5 seconds. If the storm was cast directly on an enemy champion it will continue to follow that champion and deal damage for its full duration (7 seconds), or can be redirected by pressing (R) again on a new target, but it will not silence any additional targets during that time.

While the short silences may not seem very useful as a method of preventing enemy champions from casting spells, it's very useful for stopping channeled spells such as Katarina's Death Lotus or Galio's Idol of Durand.

Viktor's chaos storm silence is certainly not almost useless, in fact it is extremely useful for not only cancelling abilities as RovingBlade already mentioned, but it makes viktor's burst potential higher as he can hit his laser whilst they are silenced without them being able to react. Note that it is not incredibly easy to get close to carries to burst.

In this profoundly melancholic film, these two unhappy children, fifty years apart, gravitate to the American Museum of Natural History. While the title of the film hints at the fascination of the exhibits behind the glass, the museum is not an attraction so much as a refuge for solitary children. They hide in the silence, in the dark corners and distracted crowds, and dream of spending the night alone among the dioramas and relics. The tone here is not sentimental, but seriously sad. Although Wonderstruck is aimed at children, its mixture of nostalgia and loss could reduce grown adults to sobs.

For a Time of Sorrow
I share with you the agony of your grief,
The anguish of your heart finds echo in my own.
I know I cannot enter all you feel
Nor bear with you the burden of your pain;
I can but offer what my love does give:
The strength of caring,
The warmth of one who seeks to understand
The silent storm-swept barrenness of so great a loss.
This I do in quiet ways,
That on your lonely path
You may not walk alone.

Dysregulation of the immune system undoubtedly plays an important and, perhaps, determining role in the COVID-19 pathogenesis. While the main treatment of the COVID-19 intoxication is focused on neutralizing the excessive inflammatory response, it is worth considering an equally significant problem of the immunosuppressive conditions including immuno-paralysis, which lead to the secondary infection. Therefore, choosing a treatment strategy for the immune-mediated complications of coronavirus infection, one has to pass between Scylla and Charybdis, so that, in the fight against the "cytokine storm," it is vital not to miss the point of the immune silence that turns into immuno-paralysis.

Even so, throughout my life I have found myself being drawn to silence, contemplation, and stillness, time and time again. And as much as I love rocking out in my car or hanging out with people, I crave silence and contemplation.

There is a storm raging around the world, a storm we choose to be blissfully unaware of. In fact, this storm has been raging for generations now, engulfing normal, joyful lives that come on its way.

As per the WHO, depression is one of the leading causes of disability in the world today. The WHO also states that suicide is the fourth leading cause of death among 15-29 year olds and those who live with severe mental health conditions die as much as two decades early than their 'mentally healthy' counterparts because of aggravated physical conditions caused by untreated and unaddressed mental health issues.

As per the World Bank, nearly 1 billion people worldwide live with a mental heath disorders and in low income countries, more than 75% of people with the disorder do not receive treatment. The most shocking part as per the World Bank is that about 50% of mental health disorders start by the age of 14.

To be honest, till a few years back, I regarded depression and anxiety disorders as typically 'luxury' diseases, that is to say, normal (not wealthy) people like many of you reading this and I could never fall prey to such diseases. But everything changed for me in the year 2017, when my world came tumbling down because of a heartbreak and for the first time in my life I had to seek psychiatric assistance and take anti-depression and anti-anxiety medications.

The years since have been ones of constant struggle for me, being ripped apart by minor events and then undergoing processes to put myself back together and improve. Today, thankfully, I am at a phase where I have built acceptance for everything that happened to me and have in the process become far more resilient and confident. However, over these years of introspection, I learnt something about mental health disorders that I want to share with the world to show what it really looks like and how mental health diseases actually shape up. So let me share a little story with you to see how mental health disorders grow inside us silently, without any warning.

I am sure you have once in your lifetime come across a strict perfectionist who is never happy with a great outcome only because it is not massive enough for him. Or, you have come across someone who tries extremely hard but can never get things right, never produce even good enough results. While most of the times we are inspired by the former and support his penchant for brilliance, almost every time, we look down upon the latter and label him as a terrible loser even though we know nothing about his experiences.

Now let me tell you, we are actually dealing with severe mental health issues on both the ends of the spectrum and confusing it with character flaws or strengths. In almost all cases (barring a few exceptions), the perfectionist is an individual who as a child grew up in a family where mistakes were never accepted and attention and support from parents came only when the child behaved impeccably. In the process, the child grew up to be an individual who saw his worth only in the results he produced, working diligently day and night to come with nothing but the best.

On the other hand the one who is constantly failing at a particular job was most probably the sensitive child who was creatively and imaginatively gifted but his gifts meant nothing to his parents who were either negligent and abusive or absolute control freaks who wanted their child to fulfil the dreams they themselves could not attain. The inherent sensitivity of the child however prevented him from becoming a perfectionist because his heart lay somewhere else. In both these cases, therefore, we have mentally fragile and unhappy people who are leading bonded lives as per the dictates of their family and society. Once both these individuals reach their tipping point, they are going to crumble like a house of cards because the real defences were never built.
