We live in a world
that is too loud - not just with sound, but with thoughts are also very
noisy. Constant stimulation, relentless updates, opinions coming from every
direction… No wonder many of us feel overwhelmed, scattered, even exhausted.
We seek silence in
external places: a weekend trip, a quiet room, a DO NOT DISTURB sign, but
the most powerful silence is the one inside us.
It’s not the absence
of thought, but a deeper quality of thinking, since the more quality your
thoughts have, less they will be. Your mind stops chasing around and starts being.
This kind of silence
isn’t easy to find and it is not to be created. In fact, it’s always available
and it comes when we turn inward, just for a while - maybe through meditation, perhaps
just by breathing consciously or watching the sky without our phones.
And when we do that,
something beautiful happens: clarity returns, worries fade, creativity whispers
and peace knocks silently on the door of our minds.
Next time the world
feels too loud, don’t just escape it. Go within.
That’s where the real silence
lays.
