Sitting quietly in a room
All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.
- Blaise Pascal, Pensees
I know this quote is one that a lot of weird freaks love to bandy around as "super deep" but the longer I stay away from "traditional" social media, the more I think it bears true. Sitting there in a room alone, either in the literal, or merely not being subjected to a million "takes" per hour has helped me reflect on a lot of stuff internally. Pascal might have had some truly unhinged, wager-related takes, but maybe take some time today and sit in silence and see how it feels.
