There are many things in life that most of us take for granted. Paradoxically, one of those things happens to be not a thing at all. Of course, through the use of language this arbitrary description must be explained in such a manner. I am talking about stillness, one of the most overlooked blessings or lack thereof, depending on how you look at it. Stillness, silence, peace, emptiness (in a non-negative connotation) is essential to a life of inner-peace and tranquility or at least moments of such blissful states. Stillness will help you to put in order all of the chaos that is running amuck in your life. Stillness will ease the troubles that plague your mind. Its importance is overlooked because our society, and almost all other societies, view stillness as a waste of time, as a counterproductive, lazy, inefficient way of living. If you incorporated stillness into your life you would find out what is truly beneficial and what isn't. Perhaps this is the reason so much is spent on advertising and we are bombarded with entertainments. Of course, a more prudent question is: Who is responsible, the drug dealer or the drug addict?
