“All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.” Blaise Pascal
Just Stop I watched him for a while, he didn't seem agitated, but he fidgeted, moved, seemed unsettled the whole time he sat, though sat is moot, he couldn't take his eyes or his ears away from his phone, his fingers constantly caressed his chin, his legs tangoed on their own under the table, I speculated, of course, it was his way of coping in public, who knows, but it's plausible, even so, some people just cannot sit and savour their coffee, which was always an excuse to stop and smell the beans.

When I stopped smoking, I didn’t know what to do with my hands. Today if you take a cell phone away from somebody, they do not know what to do with their life.

I certainly did use to be one of these. There’s something to be said for growing old, after all! ☕

I’ve been forced to sit quietly for periods of time and I don’t like it😂

I can understand how easy it is to get overly attached to your phone. I almost always have my phone with me, but only because I feel safe with it. Does that make sense?

I learned how to quietly wait when I was a new Navy wife in the pre-Internet day. To do otherwise would be to drive yourself crazy.
