A weakness of the human body is to let such stimulation become a norm so that it is habitually accepted as a part of living. The reality is that our bodies cannot cope with such stimulation for extended periods without changing fundamentally. The reality is that it is too easy for people to become addicted to too many forms of stimulation without being selective.
Thus, it is that we need to have a balance between dampening and stimulative environments. One would accept that a symphony can only be successful in a hall that allows sound to be distributed, disseminated, and reflected in such a way that we can appreciate the musical subtleties. If the auditorium is too enclosed the sound becomes noise, and if it is too open, the sounds become whispers so soft that we struggle to hear them.
Similarly, we need to achieve a balance of simulation and relaxation that allows us to receive the stimulants in a fitting way, so that the qualities they present are absorbed effectively.
Will ye no think kindly on those who would be your friends! May the sun shine with your thoughts, today, and happiness grow in your heart! May you allow yourself some peace of mind.
