THE world has become more and more a 24/7 universe, with longer hours of activity, by more and more humans, creating more and more noise.

Sometimes we need to be reminded of this in order for us to endeavour to achieve our aims as quietly as possible.

We need to remember that those who are active during the night need to sleep during the day, also, the ill and dying would, I am sure, appreciate less noise.

It would be kinder to all if we can reduce the number of bumps, bangs and clashes caused unnecessarily.
