Attention Is Riveted On What Is Tangible, Useful, Instantly Available; The Stimulus For Deeper Thought And Reflection May Be Lacking. Yet Human Beings Have A Vital Need For Time And Inner Quiet To Ponder And Examine Life And Its Mysteries... Understanding And Wisdom Are The Fruit Of A Contemplative Eye Upon The World, And Do Not Come From A Mere Accumulation Of Facts, No Matter How Interesting.
