Stiller leven

Stiller leven is a profound essay. Désanne van Brederode gives an accurate description of society in our time, and points at some symptoms which define our relationships. The essays is not merely a lament and nostalgia toward the time behind us, although the description an examples of the demise of language, and intrinsic quality, such as in receiving a letter, rather than an email, or holding a paper book, rather than an e-book may seem. Stiller leven does call for mindfulness, and true appreciation of things in life, rather than haste and quantity.
