    I like being quiet and drama free.

    I feel like quiet is disconnecting from the noise of social media and other outlets. I think this is appealing and relevant now more than ever.

      I agree...and I think ironically that includes broadcast media.

      ​@djmtpa 100%. ESPECIALLY broadcast media. They push fear and consumerism...key tenets of a "noisy life," more than anyone else.

    The Bible has a scripture in it that has been my focus over the last 2 years. "..Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, mind your own business and work with your hands so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anyone."
    I am still working on this! But, this scripture has given me "permission," like this person mentioned, to take steps to make my life a little bit quieter.

      I get your point, but most people hunger for human connection and over-isolating is not necessarily healthy. In fact, loneliness can be a silent killer. Find balance.

    It's not only social media and people having busy lives because that's the norm of the society we live in today. But also people deal with negative people and people who like to start chaos, that's also part of the world we live in today. This is my opinion and from my experience.
    I have the book Quite and I absolutely love this book! In the book, Susan talks about introverts and extroverts. Susan talks about how society loves extroverts.
    I love the quiet life. For me when I have a chance, I like to take nature walks and sit down and listen to the quiet. No noise, no running around, just sitting down doing something I enjoy doing or taking a walk. I don't get lonely because I have been around toxic people and I enjoy the break from toxicity and being alone.

  • @RosePetal17
    @RosePetal17 Před 6 měsíci +49

    Such a wonderful segment. I need this book! I love tuning into nature, and I spend a lot of time alone, well… taking care of an elderly parent. I often feel sad, and I have grief for my “ small” life. We do live in this “ toxic positivity “ culture, where it doesn’t seem ok to express pain and sadness. * Edit today: After four years, I think (I hope) I have found the right therapist to help me work through some deep (and old) pain!

    The entire panel arrived on this show by navigating and triumphing in a brutal business. Broadcast journalism is a jungle. How they kept a straight face is impressive. They know there are a dozen people after their jobs right now.

  • @ThuLe-eh1xe
    @ThuLe-eh1xe Před 6 měsíci +3

    To have a quiet life is not so much to stay away from the noisy life outside of us. It is to stop the negative self talks in our head, to stop the worries, fear, anger, to stop the preoccupation of ME, MYSELF, MINE AND I. To live a quiet life is to love and accept and forgive ourselves unconditionally. It is to enjoy Grace from God.
    Rest, relax, and receive love, grace from God. He created us good.

    The best kind of quiet means unplugging...and not watching any media, including this channel. If you do not turn off your phone or device, this story did not convince you to have a quiet life. It also means our media drug dealer has us by the balls and we can't let go of our addiction... their plan is working. ❤ 🌎 ✌ Good Luck Folks! I'm going for another line...I mean scroll.. I can't help myself... I must know crap about crap..I must!!
