Blaise Pascal

Simplified Meaning:

People often feel unhappy because they find it hard to be alone with their thoughts. Being alone in a quiet room, doing nothing, can be uncomfortable for many. For example, if someone constantly needs to check their phone or watch TV, it might be because they don’t feel right just sitting quietly. Learning to sit quietly and think can bring peace and help us understand ourselves better. It can make us feel less stressed and more content with life. Practicing this can lead to a calmer mind and more happiness.
