Sound

I would hate to not be able to hear the sound of voices I love. I wouldn't mind not hearing some other sounds though. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to filter things like that? Filter certain decibels or words or voices or... jackhammers!

I wonder how we'd be, as people, if we could pick and choose what to hear - literally. Maybe it's the bad that makes the good so much better, or the noise that helps give clarity its meaning and value. Or maybe not. Maybe hearing only good sounds would be just fine.
