A perfect description of why meditation becomes such a precious thing for so many people

“All of humanity’s problems stem from mans inability to sit quietly in a room alone.”

Blaise Pascal ~ 1623 – 1662

What a brilliant way of describing the value of meditation by someone born 400 years ago.  Never more pertinent then in todays world.
