“The present state of the world and all of life is diseased. If I were a doctor and were asked for my advice, I should reply: Create silence.”
— Soren Kierkegaard

Simplified Meaning:
Our world today is chaotic and problematic, much like a sick person who needs treatment. If the world were a patient and could ask a doctor for help, the doctor would suggest finding peace and quiet. Think of a busy, noisy city where everyone is stressed out and unhappy. Now imagine if everyone took a moment to stop, listen, and be quiet. They might feel calmer and clearer in their minds. Similarly, in our daily lives, taking time to be still and silent can help us deal with stress and confusion. It’s like when you’re overwhelmed with a lot of things to do; taking a moment to be silent can help you think more clearly and make better decisions. So, finding moments of silence can be very healing in our busy, noisy world.
