C. J. SansomHowever much one lacks piety, the atmosphere in a graveyard encourages quiet reflection.
About This Quote
Piety can be defined as an attitude of devout respect for God, the universe and the sacred. It is associated with reverent fear of God, self-discipline and discipline, and respect for the moral order. The best way to increase piety is to spend time in a graveyard. When one spends time there, they start to notice things about the world that they never noticed before.
They start to appreciate the world around them more and they become more disciplined. They learn how to live a more morally upright life and they become a more loving person.
