Do you want to be "quiet"

We often say or listen to others say, I want to be quiet. In most cases, this sentence is mostly a joke, but in fact, this is how many people's voices, fast-paced life, endless trivial things, and the brain that can't stop thinking about things. How many times do you want to pull away, stop, and slow down, but you can't help it.

? I recommend a book "The Power of Silence" here. The author of this book puts forward the concept of infinity. This word seems to have a lot to do with meditation, religion, and even being divorced from real life. In fact, infinity is not isolated from the world, but pulled away from it from time to time.

? We are in constant contact and feedback with the people and things around us, aware of our existence, and it is impossible to get rid of the noisy environment outside and seek inner peace by seeking peace. Most of our lives take place in our brains, which means that we can't calm down and get along with ourselves in most cases.

? What the author advocates is to change the way of life, turn off the computer, throw away the mobile phone, escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, and enter the inner world through long-term meditation.

In many people's minds, vision determines the quality of life. They think that the more things you do, the more things you experience, the more places you go, the bigger the world you see, the more you can know the meaning of winning, and the more you can get happiness. But this is not the case in real life, because the biggest trouble for a person is that he can't get along with himself quietly.

Take travel as an example. People choose to go out to travel and get out of the present environment temporarily to relax, but in fact, the significance of the whole trip will only be revealed after the trip is over, they return home and spend some time quietly sitting down to digest what they have seen and heard during the trip.

Stopping is not to live in isolation. Picker's "stopping" is more about getting in close contact with his senses, which can be done in daily life, that is to say, taking time off from time to time to let himself relax during his busy work.

The author cited his own example in the article.

He met a young lady during a long flight, which lasted for 12 hours. When the plane began to descend, Pique finally got up the courage to ask the lady why she didn't do anything. The lady said it was because she liked to release the pressure in her body when she was on the plane, doing nothing, feeling herself and focusing on her thoughts.

? In the era of information flood, the ability to filter information is more important than the ability to receive information. The reason is simple. The more information we receive, the more time and attention we occupy. Time and attention are limited.

Kevin, the "Father of the World Internet"? Kelly is also an avid spokesman for new technology, but it is unexpected that Kevin himself does not use a smart phone and there is no TV at home. He sometimes travels to some villages in Asia for a few months without a computer.

Kevin once said, "I try to keep my distance from all kinds of technologies so that I can remember who I am more easily."

if you want to be quiet, you might as well take this book and read it well.
