From 500 BC come words of such wisdom for today. Socrates, the great Greek philosopher, is suggesting something very important for us. Why would a busy life be barren? Because we don't stop to smell the roses, we are rarely present for ouselves or for each other -- fully. "What doth it profit a man if he gain the world and lose his own soul." Same kind of thing. It is so hard to stop, to slow down, but the price of not doing that -- or of not finding a peaceful way to be busy! -- is very high.
