A new blog to contain answers to prompts |
Since my old blog "Everyday Canvas "  became overfilled, here's a new one. This new blog item will continue answering prompts, the same as the old one. Cool water cascading to low ground
To spread good will and hope all around.  |
| Prompt: "A happy life must be to a good extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy can live. " Bertrand Russell Write about this quote in your Blog entry today. -------- Did you ever think we might be chasing happiness in all the wrong places? I mean we attend the noisy sports games, races, movies, parties, social media, and other such things as well as shopping in crowded stores. How much happiness can one get from such excursions! Maybe, we've somehow convinced ourselves that joy comes from more: more experiences, more achievements, more connections, more likes. But what if the opposite is true? Speaking for me, I find true joy (maybe myself, too, the real Joy) in quieter moments. Nowadays, blame it on my age if you wish, I prefer sitting quietly reading, writing, doing chores around the house, or having a conversation or back-and-forth messaging with a friend or two, since I can also appreciate the fact that "quiet" doesn't necessarily mean isolation or complete silence. It means I am not constantly reaching our for the next event or performing for any audience, real or imagined. This is because, in my solitude or half-solitude, I can hear myself think, feel free to feel my feelings, and connect to what truly matters to me. My moments don't shout, they whisper, and because of that I'm more alert to paying attention to them. |
