Many theories exist on this, and two that stand out are — the ability to hear what you write; and the isolation in the presence of noise... Seemingly unendorsed opinion or expression, but strangely in the midst of cacophony, the creative or the mind that thinks, excels... at times the best…' He continued, 'Excess is a cess that is desired to be seized, else it absorbs the activities of mind and body and the senses... Disposed utilities have been a learning for some... storing of utilities has been the learning from some... which some to be accepted and executed is the excess that cesses the mind and body... and the regret in the other is the pain of not doing the 'do'...'
