I'm not a fan of idleness, except in small doses.
Idleness is the parent of psychology.
I think of myself as naturally idle. The trouble is, the 'nothing' that I do every day is not really nothing. I potter. I muck about with emails, I make coffee, I fiddle with my computer to make sure that the book I haven't started writing is perfectly synced across all platforms and devices.
To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.
Idleness allows you to turn a situation from boredom to pleasure.
