Stil Staan

Enter the realm of 'Stil Staan,' an essay written in Dutch that dares to advocate for the beauty of passivity in a world rushing towards its inevitable end. The author makes a compelling plea to pause, resist the haste, and find solace in the tranquility of standing still. Through eloquent prose, 'Stil Staan' challenges the societal pressure for constant Post-Fordist motion, urging readers to embrace the subtlety and wisdom that can be found in the act of standing still, questioning whether the relentless pursuit of progress truly leads to a meaningful destination. It's an invitation to savour the present, offering a counter-narrative to the frenetic pace of modern life.
