Suggesting that meditation is a "waste of time"... Wow, that's hard to imagine thinking that way if you do creative work!

- obviouslygreen 13y agoWell, when you consider that most people (at least in my experience) likely don't have actual exposure to it or an understanding of what it is and its intended practical benefits, that's a fairly common point of view. It's often not malicious, it's just that meditation is so often lumped in with alternative-medicine-type highly-suspect concepts.
- davidandgoliath 13y agoI think as North Americans we've let it become all too common to associate 'turning off' with vegetating in front of a screen of some sort. We're likely guilty of this here around HN as well -- instead of actually taking the time to disconnect and replenish ourselves through meditation or whatever activity suits your brain & body's fancy. And on that note, time to disconnect! :)
