Noise

The world is exploding with noise. Advertising marketing, smart phone conversations, talking electronic devices, screens, robocalls, even talking gas pumps. Noise is incessant and skillfully constructed to invade your brain. It pushes out your own thoughts to the point that there is no room for your own values or common sense. You think it was your ideas that you must absolutely have perfect white teeth, that you must be in style to be loved, that you must ask the doctor about every new medication, that celebrities are the experts on everything, that lies are the truth.

This is why everyone needs a quiet space for quiet reflection, a space to discover the true self again, to hear against the noise of the world, to dig out truth and values from the rubble
