Contemplation on an idea is a solitary activity. It needs silence, being alone, without the noise of the world.
A good writer or good philosopher goes up to the mountain or in to the desert. Away from the everyday noise of everyday people.
To makei it silent in his mind. He or she is not a teamworker – at first. He isn’t focused on ‘results’ or on ‘producing’ outcomes by seeking this solitude. He only wants to seek the environement where new ideas can be born. New discriptions of the same world can become to take form.
Good philosophers or thinkers want to live on their own. They need their cave, their ‘temple’, enough distance from the everyday noises. And this distance and state of seclusion can be the seeds for newborn perspectives of the same world.
E=mc^2 was born and worked out with enough silence and solitude.
The shedules of today and focus on results, producing scientific papers and articles, because otherwise you lose your title or get no promotion, is the opposite from the attitude of our forefathers and people from the east: they knew that silence, no timepressure, no shedules and solitary are good envirenments for the process of bringing forth new deeper thinking.
And that’s what I like about religious environements too: not the believes itself, but the solitary, silence and their contemplation is not driven by outcomes. That’s what I like about the mentality of the East and our forefathers. Unfortunately people from the East are turning in to noisy societies with shedules, targets, results, fast technology etcetera etcetera.
