A Much-Needed Sense of Detachment

Last evening, while enjoying the spring part of the day, I put some weed killer on our lawn and the lawns of both next-door neighbors. There were numerous people out and about in the neighborhood, many of them walking dogs. I noticed one dog walker was talking on her cell-phone while walking by. About 30 minutes later, she and her dog passed by on their return route. The woman was talking on her cell-phone. Was she talking to the same person? Why does she feel the need to talk on her cell-phone while walking her dog? Is she afraid being forced to think about things in her life(this is often a result of confronting silence)?

Do we always need the radio or TV on while at home or in the car? Try a few minutes of silence and see what happens.
