A moment spent without holds 100 times more value than a moment spent with. I think a big problem we are all facing as a collective species in the modern age is a lack of high-value time. I would hope I'm not alone in the thought that sometimes it feels as though time is being stolen away from you when you least expect it. Sometimes you look up and several hours have passed and all you can feel is some deep echo of regret or remorse. Like something has been lost to you, something has slipped away from you without your notice. Something valuable.
I think the problems a lot of us are facing in the modern era is simply a lack of quality time - time spent well. We use all these devices and services that proport to bring us happiness and joy and all these other benefits, but these are all a front for a massive time vacuum that can only offer low-value uses for the time they steal.
I think we could all benefit from spending more time in a quiet room with no distractions just allowing ourselves some time to think. Some hours in the dark, so to speak, where our minds can release our attention and we can simply sit in peace and silence.
I think we could all, in general, benefit from less distraction.
