This is a culture so saturated with activity that we barely sleep, scarcely read anything longer than a newspaper article, check our e-mail hourly. Our attention spans are minuscule, our lattes short and skim and on the run. But sometimes nothing is the best option. It allows time for reflection.
Some problems even resolve themselves.
At times, our instant solutions to problems turn out to be more trouble than the problems themselves. We're human, after all. We make mistakes. We need time and space to avoid them. As with life, so with politics.
