Stop, lock up your iphone, walk outside, and exercise. Listen to the quiet. Take deep breaths, smell the air and relax.
If only it were that easy.
First of all, I really don't care to hear your private conversations from my garden, or while I ride my bike next to you. Yes, I am a baby boomer, and yes, my generation is going deaf-thanks to rock & roll concerts. But, why do people yell into their cell phones. Don't they want some privacy?
I LOVE my privacy. I am a private, introverted person, and love silence. Is that too much to ask of my fellow beings on this planet. Is there any silent zones left on our planet.
It used to be that hospitals were considered "QUIET" zones. In the last few years, I have visited too many patients in hospitals. An ICU is the most distracting place that I have ever been in. I guess that I watched too many old hospital shows in the 70s. Computerized health care is just plain noisy.
I have always wanted to put a quiet sign in front of our house on its country road. Is that rude? Would it be taken away like my no spray mosquito sign from the 80s?
It is just a thought, but, next time you are walking in the country, take the time to unwind and use no devises. Just you alone in nature. Open your eyes and see the beauty around you.
