“I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting. Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought: So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing. Whisper of running streams, and winter lightning. The wild thyme unseen and the wild strawberry, The laughter in the garden, echoed ecstasy Not lost, but requiring, pointing to the agony Of death and birth.” ― T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets
In the line "Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought", how does it relate to the overall theme of the poem?

"The fundamental concepts explored in this methodology encompass key notions such as location, duration, and time. It involves various functions, including requesting, informing, expressing preferences, and dislikes. Language is utilized for a myriad of purposes, ranging from dramatization, gaming, and role-playing to engaging in dialogue, play, and problem-solving activities. The method encourages the use of language within creative and spontaneous contexts, where dialogues are crafted to revolve around communicative functions. Moreover, errors are acknowledged as a natural aspect of the language learning process, emphasizing a more tolerant perspective. While grammar is incorporated into the instruction, it is presented in a less systematic manner, fostering a learning environment that values practical communication and application over rigid adherence to grammatical rules."
Mark the alternative that presents the method being described in the text.

Modern Paradoxes

The paradox of our time is that we spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more comforts, but less time. We more information, but less knowledge, more questions, but fewer answers. We build more computers to hold more information, but we communicate with each other less and less. We have more possessions, but fewer values. We are now long on quantity, but short on quality.

We drink too much, smoke too much, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, read too little, watch TV too much.

We know much about the Moon and Mars, but avoid crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We are masters of outer space but not of inner space. We say “yes” to a bigger car in the showroom, but “no” to a homeless street kid who tries to sell us a bag of cookies.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, tall men and short character, large profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of luxurious houses, but broken homes. These are times of more leisure, but less fun, overweight bodies, but selfish souls.

It is a time when technology brings this message to you, and a time you can choose either to make a difference and pass it on, or to just hit “delete”.
