Radio Silence

Screaming into the void takes a toll on the voice.  Driving a nail into nothing won't help keep anything together.  There's a net loss of energy, even if the adrenaline dump does make everything feel easier for a few minutes.

There's only so long a person can continue to expend energy without getting any indication that it's registering.  Feedback, even if it's just perceived, is necessary to keep going.  Time steals motivation.
