Thomas Merton, the Trappist monk, spent huge amounts of time in silent contemplation. The Trappists today still value silence and contemplation. Buddhists Taoists, and many other Eastern disciplines find it vital to purge the monkey mind. The monkey mind is the term for the constant stream of useless thoughts that pervade and invade our every waking moments.Think quiet solitude applies to many Americans today? We have to pass laws to keep people from using hand held idiot devices while driving. People no longer think before they act..Doesn't matter where you stand ,sit, or walk, some incredibly insecure exhibitionist idiot , is discussing his or her life loud enough for us to enjoy.Personally I don't give a rats ass about your boring meaningless existence.SHUT THE HELL UP! Try something you've never tried before, SILENCE.
