  1. Hiya

    In my opinion that is one of the most perceptive statements to be made and with such clarity and simplicity. Which funnily enough is what sitting quietly, whether alone or with others, is all about. I disagree that this is where all misery derives from but I believe if more people sat quietly the communities we live in may be more enjoyable, nurturing and loving.

    Thanks
    Jens

  3. It’s not about spending time in a room alone, it’s about the “inability” to. The lack of true inner peace.
