Noise.
Some of us are addicts of distraction. Why you might ask?
Simple… 3 Reasons (Thanks for nailing this one Pascal and pointing the way Chet).
We crave distraction because it:
- Consoles our miseries
- Prevents us from deep thinking and introspection
- Entertains us on our way to death.
The only thing that consoles us for our miseries is distraction, yet that is the greatest of our wretchednesses. Because that is what mainly prevents us from thinking about ourselves and leads us imperceptibly to damnation. Without it we should be bored, and boredom would force us to search for a firmer way out, but distraction entertains us and leads us imperceptibly to death. -Pascal
A parting thought (created out of a time of silence):
- By opening the door to Silence we also open the door to significance. Our Potential sleeps on the other side of our pain.
