To value silence and be void of desire are what truly cause the greatest happiness. You wouldn't think about the past or speculate on the future. You would be indifferent to present. Time and space would have no meaning. How many people have you met who live quietly as if spectators, free from all desire and change?
William Wordsworth viewed Soul and a sense of home as points of self-realization. What does this passage from his poem, "Intimations of Immortality" mean to you?
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting;
The Soul that rises with us, our life star,
Hath had elsewhere, its setting,
And cometh from afar.
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home.
