When you are riding on a Metro in any major city, and you look around you, you see pretty much everyone is on their phone.
I wonder whether this new way of being, this need for constant external stimulation, is coming at a cost.
There was a time, not that long ago, when people were perfectly capable of spending 20 minutes doing absolutely nothing. This is only a theory, but I suspect that that may have had mental health benefits.
Being able to simply slow down and reflect, and be in your own thoughts, is probably good for you. The simple capacity to do nothing.
I am concerned that as a society we are losing this capacity.
