All men’s miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone. – Blaise Pascal
What are your thoughts on this statement? Can you sit in a quiet room alone. No TV. No book. Nothing. Just quiet?
The quiet bothers me more than I like to admit. When everything is quiet I am left alone with myself. Who I really am starts to surface. Wait. Is this a bad thing?
I am going to try this. I challenge you to do the same. Set aside an hour. Sit alone in a room where you are less likely to be distracted. No cell phones. No nothing. Totally unplug. Can you make it an hour? I don’t know if I can, but I am curious at what will happen.
I am betting the first time I try it I won’t make it, but if I make it for a bit I would say that is a start.
