“After having struggled madly to solve all problems, after having suffered on the heights of despair, in the supreme hour of revelation, you will find that the only answer, the only reality, is silence.”
—Emil Cioran
To do nothing at all is the most difficult thing in the world, the most difficult and the most intellectual.If we are to understand
the world, we have to stop acting upon it: we have to contemplate it. Contemplation and action are sworn enemies.
Doing nothing brings forth an angle from which to look at everything with cosmic detachment. Idleness breeds depth of
vision and a truly philosophical perspective.
