Eh?

I, too, use animals as company in my silence. I have two pet rabbits, who, being bunnies by nature, only ever emit sounds when in distress or in want of something. It's very peaceful to sit outside with them and watch them play in the quiet. It's also very nice sometimes to have an absence of noise at home, to just let concentration go, and to focus on nothingness.

Then again, I am going through a couple of mental issues currently, so my perspective might be flawed biologically.
