View submission: Most silent cultures / countries?
I don’t think there’s a country you can immigrate to that will fill this void. I’m older now. But when I was younger I thought my happiness was elsewhere. It’s not. That said, I also realise how hard it is to cultivate silence in a world of noise.
There are quieter places in the world. Finland and Norway are fairly quiet. But Russia and Ukraine and Poland are also places where quiet is more accepted.
As one poster already said, you can’t just immigrate. There are some places that are easier to immigrate to. But if you’re looking for quality of life and silence, you’ll have to have a lot of qualifications and a good deal of money.
I’ve found silence in Costa Rica and in Cyprus. I’ve found it in Thailand and Loas. I suggest you take some time now as you are and go to the mountains or into the rainforest. You may find animal sounds and shit. But you won’t find the people. The only other option I can think of is a monastery. The pursuit of ‘God’ leads to silence often enough.
There's nothing here!
