Well done with the post, @ericvancewalton. Any way to upvote this twice? ;)
I believe that only when oneself can break away from the noise of life can he/she truly find an environment of tranquility.
I live in front of a busy street so I have zero opportunity for peace and quiet. Maybe in the middle of the night but that's when I feel most sleepy. lol.
Thank you, Fong!
