"All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone."
Today's Question
If all the external noise surrounding you were 'muted' at this very moment, what would the 'silent order' within you look like?
Universal Order Found in a Quiet Room
Blaise Pascal was a child prodigy in mathematics, but in his later years, he delved deeply into the human interior. He observed that humans constantly seek diversions and noise because they cannot endure the 'void' they feel when faced with themselves.
Leaving behind the distractions of high society, he lived in seclusion, jotting down his thoughts on scraps of paper. To him, 'staying in a quiet room' was not just physical isolation, but the only way for the soul to find true peace away from the noise forced upon it by the world.
