IDLENESS

I heard many times that idleness was something bad. You should not be idle at all cost. That kind of personas are bad, idleness brings nothing but bad things. You must be actice, always doing something. In that way you avoid bad thoughts and bad habits.
So I decided to start doing things, like listening to music, sit down and enjoy a beatiful view, I sat quietly to have a hot cup of tea or to watch the stars in a warm night, draw the people at a plaza  full of trees. What was the answer to all my actions?: "Do something, stop waisting your time!"
WOW! I thought I was doing something. Sitting and watching a beatiful view wasn't doing something? Neither enjoying a nice cup of tea in a confortable chair? Drawing people in a quite afternoon under a tree wasn't enough?
No, those weren't the kind of things they wanted me to do. That was waisting the time, my time, That was idleness, and I just discovered I love it. Loosing my time let me think and make up stories. It allowed me to draw soemthing I discovered, something that amazed me. Or I could sit quitely smoking my pipe.
What's wrong with idleness? Well, it is very dangerous. You may become an artist.
