Tired of the noisy and hectic city, where everything distracted from meditation and introspection, the man decided to find a quiet, peaceful place.
He came to a forest where there was not a soul, but could not concentrate because the chirping of cicadas and grasshoppers disturbed him. He went further into the forest, but the birds were singing very loudly there, distracting him from contact with his inner self. In search of silence, the man climbed into the cave; it was very quiet there, but the sounds of dripping water irritated him.
Then he built himself a small cottage with soundproofing, locked all the windows and doors, but in complete silence he heard louder and louder “tick-tock-tick-tock...” - then he tore the watch from his hand and slammed it against the wall.
He sat down, calmed down, took a deep breath, pleased that now it would finally be quiet, but... - knock-knock-knock-knock... his heart was beating louder in his chest.
