    • Terrible advice. Not only is it the default human condition, but our capacity to think, reflect and ponder is how we are able to know and ultimately accept ourselves and our inevitably mediocre lives. In the words of Blaise Pascal: 'All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone'.
