All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.

Blaise Pascal
About This Quote

As humans, we are so hard working. We want to be productive, do something productive and get something productive done. However, it is the most important aspects of any person's life that come from sitting and doing nothing. The great thing about sitting and doing nothing is that it allows us to clear our minds and relax.

It’s a great form of meditation that helps us to see the world in a new light. It’s also a great way to grow as a person because we can’t be productive if we don't first sit down and calm ourselves down.
