One who will not accept solitude, stillness and quiet recurring moments...is caught up in the wilderness of addictions; far removed from an original state of being and awareness. This is 'dis-ease.

About This Quote

The more we try to avoid solitude, stillness and quiet, the further away from our true selves we are. The mind is a wild place of thoughts where pain, anxiety, anger, jealousy and other negative feelings roam free. When we are caught up in the wilderness of addictions, the mind has become a place where it’s okay to live in dis-ease. This is far removed from an original state of being and awareness.

When someone can’t accept solitude, stillness and quiet recurring moments, they are caught up in the wilderness of addictions. They have lost all sense of connection with themselves, their life and their world.
