Hello everyone, thank you @ecotrain for this opportunity to write on this special Topic Of The Week, WHY IS IT SO HARD TO MEDITATE.
Sometimes I personally wonder why it is very hard to find people in deep thoughts trying to think of the way forward in their lives. Come with me as I ride down the answers to why it is hard for people to meditate.
Now, lets talk Meditation, Meditation has to do with studying or laying down and floating so deep or lost in thought, and coming to a deep rest while unconscious.
Most times, It seems hard to meditate because it required time, quiet environment, calm and settled mind and also a calm spirit.
Lots of people often say they don't have time to do this and that including meditation. Meditation actually need time and it is through meditation that fresh ideas comes and one can discover his/herself through meditation. But we often see meditation as a waste of time most especially this present generation.
Meditation seems to be hard because we don't pay attention to new discovery. We're in a time were technology has taken over the system where brainstorming seems to be an old means of learning. For instance student prefer to google their work copy and paste at ease and at cheaper rate. Who then will waste his time to study or meditate on a particular thing where internet is there for everything you need, this might be the reason why those who discover new things are but few.
Meditation is seen as a stress. Stress in the sense that, for you to study or lie down and to come to deep rest while remaining conscious is something that young people hardly give chance to, most especially in a situation where social media has taken over the generation. The time we suppose to use in order to meditate, social media has taken over and even when we try to meditate we often get to sleep as a result to exhaustion after wasting much time on other activities even though some are less important to us. Easy access to learning and new discovery is suppose to be in our palm but unfortunate is not because we become lazy and we see meditation as stress.
Meditation becomes hard most especially in Nigeria because studying seems not to be a reason of one becoming wealthy, "that's why some people say school is a scam". This belief has really dissuaded people from meditation especially in an academia where wealth speaks louder than knowledge. But despite of this corrupt mindset on knowledge it is those who have the ideas and are still leading in all ramification of life and development that have the time to meditate
