Have you ever just sat quietly and watched people on a downtown street busily going here and there, makes you wonder what our society is so hurried about. Or at a beach and watched people talking and splashing in the water having a relaxing fun time. Have you ever sat in a forest just listening to nature? Listening, watching in silence to the tranquility of life. There is nothing like just sitting outside in peace, and taking in all nature has to offer. It seems like our society just does not have time or doesn’t know how to enjoy silence, there always has to be a radio, TV, IPod, or some electronic device making noise. How about just sipping on a tea. Have you ever hugged a tree?

ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with you more, there seems to be un unhealthy perspective that if you seek out leisure or quite time, and don't want to rush rush rush, then you are not "career driven" or you are lazy. I think we need to re-think our reasoning for doing all the things we do (or don't).
We seem to really like noise. Why do we distract ourselves so much from the real sounds?
