Ode to Silence

Ode to Silence

It may be hard to convince yourself that you need quiet time for self-reflection because in this fast-pace world full of preoccupation, busyness is perceived to equate productivity.

Using a solitude moment for self-reflection is not a waste of time. It is the only time when you can examine your existence and revisit your vision to scrutinize the trajectory of your life.

The next time you feel stuck with boredom—waiting for your dentist, queuing in a supermarket—use it wisely.
