  11. One who lives restrained in the senses
    And focused on unpleasant things,
    Who is moderate in food,
    Who has faith and diligence:
    Mara cannot overcome him,
    Just as wind cannot overcome a rocky mountain.
    ~Dhammapada 8

  12. Mindfulness is the path to the Deathless,
    Heedlessness is the path to death.
    The mindful never die,
    the heedless are as if dead already.

    A philosophy professor I once had said that one of the worst things you could do to many people is to tie them down to a chair in a room with no stimulation.

    People are afraid of being alone with their thoughts

    Hence newspapers, televisions, radios, and the worst: mobile phones.

    A minority of people relish silence

    Of course the same person could relish silence at some times and not at others

    From
    SN 7.3 Asundarika Sutta
    suttafriends.org/sutta/sn7-3

    “The fool thinks he has won,
    when speaking with harsh words.
    However, patience is the true victory,
    for those who praise patience.

    “When you get angry at an angry person,
    you just make things worse for yourself.
    When you don’t get angry at an angry person,
    you win a battle hard to win.

    “When you know that the other person is angry,
    if you’re patient, mindful and calm,
    then you act for the good of both
    for yourself and the other person.

    “People unfamiliar with the Buddha’s teachings
    consider that the person who acts
    for the good of both oneself and the other
    to be a fool.”
