We are overstimulated and we don't even notice. Netflix while eating. Reels in the bathroom. Music while cooking. Podcasts on walks. We consume by default, not by intention. You keep filling every gap, then wonder why you feel foggy and unmotivated.
Boredom and silence are the real growth drivers. They give you space to think and create. That's when solutions show up for problems that have been stuck for months. Leave some room.
@BlackBlessedLDS Love this take. I also think this parallels with who we choose to follow. It’s common in our culture to rebuff any position that seemingly imposes their influence on us. “I’m a Lion, not a SHEEP!” My dear brother, we are all sheep, the question is, who is your shepherd?
@JS_StrngstSldr It’s interesting you put this on here. One of my favorite movies and the books are good, too. I was always under the impression that Herbert wrote this with the idea of warning against religious zealotry? Maybe a duality of a warning against secularism? Curious to hear your take.
