IT is important in life , at least sometimes , to stop , sit still and let things become clearer .
In our age of total distraction , the age of continuous television besiegement and bombardment , the constant news briefs and messages on our cell phones , world wide today many , many trillions text messages fly between our mobile phones every year , this age of ours where the cult of celebrity idolization , and constant quick , instant and mostly thoughtless communication , tweeting and all other forms of self expression and voicing .
The need for contemplation and introspection is more than ever essential and compelling for our times .
Will pursuing more and more digital connectedness make us smarter and more creative ?? Will it help us understand ourselves and one another any better ??
IN this age and time , when we make distraction and amusement an only way of life , the need to stop and think , reflect , could become the greatest tool for our well being and happiness .
Most people in the western hemisphere , and the developed world have everything they need except for the most important of it all , the time to stop and think , we have lost the custom and rituals of thought , and the practice of consciously separating what's important from what is not .
This everlasting temptation to constantly divert and amuse ourselves , our current way of life , is systematically destroying and erasing our abilities for a more crucially engaged and rewarding life .
Thank you all , still from the la la lands , salamat .
