“A quiet night in is not missing out — it is catching up with yourself.”
— The Sage
The Sage has always believed that silence has been unfairly underrated. In a world that equates movement with meaning and noise with importance, a quiet night can feel suspiciously unproductive. Yet he notes that some of the most necessary conversations we ever have are the ones we conduct inwardly — away from crowds, away from obligation, and away from the need to perform.
He observes that staying in is often mistaken for absence. Invitations declined, plans postponed, lights dimmed early — these can appear like retreat. But The Sage insists that withdrawal is not the same as loneliness. A quiet evening offers something rare: the opportunity to listen to one’s own thoughts without interruption or applause.
With gentle humour, he reminds us that catching up with oneself is long overdue for most people. The world will still be noisy tomorrow. For tonight, peace is not avoidance — it is maintenance. And sometimes, the best company available is the one already at home.
