Summary

Hanlon's Razor is a principle that suggests when trying to understand someone's actions or behavior, it is more reasonable to assume they are driven by incompetence rather than ill-intentions. In other words, instead of immediately assuming that someone's actions are deliberately malicious, we should consider the possibility that they simply made a mistake or acted out of ignorance. This quote urges us to approach situations with a mindset that favors giving people the benefit of the doubt, seeing their actions as a result of ignorance or carelessness rather than malice.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
