The greatest fault of
the day is the absence of stillness. Stillness is nowadays often
taken as leisureliness or as slowness.
Modern man lacks
concentration and carries with him an atmosphere of
restlessness; with all his knowledge and progress he feels
uncomfortable himself, and unintentionally brings discomfort to
others.
Stillness is
therefore the most important lesson that can be taught to the
youth of today.
