Peace And Quiet

In quiet places, reason abounds. Adlai Stevenson
Well, my mind right now is not such a place, sadly.

I am a talkative person, but I have my quiet times. At least times when I seek some peace and quiet all to myself, and just think or not think. Some time alone for my mind away from all infractions; time to renew and set itself in order.

Even otherwise, I think I do not like loudness intruding anywhere - I like my music at a comfortable level, it should leave me some room to think, talk or mull over the lyrics. I do not like brain-numbing-ear-drums-splitting decibel levels. Which my husband loves. Goes to prove opposites attract right?

I do not like people who talk loud all the time, loud not in decibel levels, but opinions. They will not think twice and they do not let you think even once. Phew!


Hope you get to start/end your week/day with peace and quiet.

Oh! And Happy Valentine's!

I agree with you and especially about the 'loud' people you mentioned at the end.
Rohini,one must learn to withdraw even in nosiy surroundings though a quiet place is more congenial just as one can be stressed even in peaceful ambience.It is the mind that plays the triick.Still the mind, as they say

@partha sir - you are absolutely right. I have never had luck doing that though. My father tried to teach me meditation in vain, for I could never empty my mind of thought. Thank you for your kind advice. :)

Jzt 4 me... said...

Lol...Noisy and Nosy...both to be put into the same box...and put me in there...I can irritate the head out of both of them...Am I not really bad...

Jokes apart...Ro, yeah, everybdy has their own moments of complete Solitude Love...I used to get into that mode very often for quite sometime...but, now, I dont even get to be so...Thanks to influences around me...As I feel, when we get such moments, myself goes to thoughts...mostly thoughts that r not too pleasant...and then it takes me to a very dirty mood...which in turn could spoil mood of people around me too..uhmm...
