No News Is Good News Day
September 11 · Level 1 · #2080 of 2238
This day is built on an old proverb: if you hear nothing, then nothing bad has happened. It invites you to take a short break from alarming headlines.
How it is celebrated: people mute notifications, put the phone down, go for a walk, read a book or chat with loved ones instead of scrolling through the news.
The saying is centuries old and dates from an age when letters took weeks to arrive, so silence from a distant friend or relative usually did mean all was well.
