Doc, I think it's a win win. Either the person is calm and radiates that; or
they're releasing stress and thus becoming more calm. BTW, I had to reply from
Basic because the list in Full Featured did not have your post!

Hey Share,
if a person is established in silence all the time, they no
longer need to round seven and a half hours a day. It
continues 24/7. So, there is not really a correlation
between time explicitly spent meditating, and a person's
ability to be a source of calm, vs a generator of
noise.

Ann, there were 2
posts and in one you focused on rounding spouses. As a
response to the other, I refer you to this comment from
Seraphita: We
understand what you're saying but it is a common belief
in all
contemplative traditions that communities joined together
practising
silent prayer (eg, monks and nuns) have a beneficial effect
on the world
even though to practical, common-sense types they seem to
be a waste of
space. Indeed, even the very recollection that there are
men and women
who forsake the feverish ambitions of the mass of people
induces a
feeling of calm!

this comment from Judy is a perfect example of snarky IMO.
Ann had criticized that people rounding for 7 1/2 hours were
thus separated from their spouses. I responded reasonably
noting that spouses who work away from home are also
separated for 7 1/2 hours or so.
My point, though, was not so much about spouses but
more about the fact that people who meditate for 7.5 hours a
day are not, in my opinion, "spiritual warriors"
and that they obviously have absolutely nothing more
desirable or pressing in their lives to
apply themselves to. I would have to question their
interestingness as human beings let alone their
productiveness and ability to take advantage of all of the
richness this waking life has to offer.

When you find out for sure, let us know, OK? This is an
important insight.
