“Meditation does not imply only the development of single-pointed concentration, sitting in some corner doing nothing. Meditation is an alert state of mind, the opposite of sluggishness; meditation is wisdom. You should remain aware every moment of your daily life, fully conscious of what you are doing and how you are doing it.” LifeShouldMindDoeStatesMomentsWisdomMeditationDevelopmentConsciousSittingOppositesCornersConcentrationDaily LifeState Of MindDoing Nothing Author:Thubten Yeshe
“I originally welcomed the mobile phone as it seemed to me that it would enable you to work from anywhere. On the mobile, who was to know if you were sitting on the branch of a tree or sitting in an office? But it instead had the opposite effect: instead of freeing us from the office, it allowed the office to take away our freedom.” IfsKnowsTreeEffectsOfficeSittingOppositesPhonesBranchesMobileMobile Phones Author:Tom Hodgkinson
“You go to a restaurant with a friend for lunch and the next table, two people are sitting opposite each other. They don't talk! All they do is look at the screens of their cell phones and show it to the person that they're with. And when people do that to me, they want me to look at pictures on their cell phone? I can't even look at little things like that.

“I used to be like "Why are we doing a remake? What are remakes being done for?" But then, we do that all the time in the theater. Retelling stories is what we've done since we were sitting around campfires. It's a part of the human spirit. It doesn't have to be negative to creativity. It can be completely opposite.” HumansDoneStoriesUsedSpiritCreativitySittingNegativeOppositesTheaterUsed To BeHuman SpiritRemakesSitting AroundBeing DoneRetellingCampfire Author:Joel Kinnaman

“Imagine ten or tweleve orange chairs arrainged in a circle, with the happy woen from the flyer sitting at opposite ends. Only problem was, from day one, they weren't happy. Someone, whoever made that flyer, must have digitally turned their frowns upside down. They wrote about death. About the evilness of men. About the destruction of-and I quote- "the greenish, bluish orb with wisps of white." Seriously, that's how they descibed it.

“...that left Francesca to slink into the chair opposite us. My feeling of superiority was short-lived, however, when she settled herself down and then crossed her legs. I didn't need a mirror to know my whole face had just turned red. With a hemline up to her thighs that gesture didn't leave anything to the imagination. Bones curled his fingers around mine and squeezed. His hand was still warmed from our contact moments ago. That's how fast he had to grab me again to keep me sitting where I was instead of yanking off my jacket to make her a pair of panties.” KnowsNeedsStillsWholeMomentsFeelingsHandsFacesLeftImaginationMinesSittingRedOppositesMirrorsDown AndFingersLegsBonesContactChairsPairsGesturesSuperiorityJacketsThighsShort LivedPanties Author:Jeaniene Frost
