Calmness Is a Form of Wealth

One of the deepest biological needs of humans is a few peaceful hours without panic or urgency. Most people in modern cities are deprived of this. If I ever become truly wealthy, I probably won't tell anyone. But there will be signs. I will turn the alarms off.

Calmness Is a Form of Wealth

Calmness and the absence of urgency are forms of wealth.

One of the deepest biological needs of human beings is having a few peaceful hours without panic, alarms, or rushing toward something.

Most people in modern cities are deprived of this.

No alarm clock. No running. No constant pressure.

The human body was not designed to live inside permanent urgency. I honestly think this is one of the things silently shortening modern life.

If I ever become truly wealthy, I probably will not tell anyone.

But there will be signs.

I will turn the alarms off. I will move slowly.
