The Japanese have a concept they call "Ma" ... generally "the space in-between", though it actually means a more than that.

Printers generally feel that the most important part of a page is the white-space. Fill the page with text and it's a busy mess; leave large white-space and it's clean, stylish, classy, quality.

So often we feel the need to fill the space with something; sometimes anything. Put two people in a room together and they'll usually talk (even we Brits), because we're worried about the silence; that the silence will look bad.

But the space in-between is vital.
