I watched this amazing movie this summer, I highly recommend this movie to anyone. Full of great thoughts and words.
“A professor strides into his classroom, the chatter of students subside as they turn to face the front. Some of them eager to learn, while others are there with the sole purpose to obtain a credit. The professor turns towards his class, but does not say a word, he stands in silence, staring.The students wait, note books open, ready for him to begin casting pearls of wisdom. Yet, he does not speak.
The only sound in the room is the constant ticking of the clock. Five minutes go by, then ten… coughing, awkward shifting. Some students get up to leave. Still, he does not utter a word. Finally, 23 minutes later, when the students feel like they could not take this any longer, the professor asks, “What is happening here?” He pauses, looks each student in the eye, “What is it about silence that makes people uneasy?” “Why do people only feel comfortable when they are filling the air with words?”"
Why?
