The art of doing nothing

56

By lyndoman

Some people think that doing nothing is easy, nothing can be further from the truth. To really do nothing takes enormous energy and determination. Staring into the distance in a maths class for instance, it's not easy, you have to not care about the consequences. The teacher will be on the look out for day dreamers, ready to squash them whenever he can.

Once the art of staring into the distance is perfected, the next stage is day dreaming. To day dream for long periods of time is a bigger high than any shoved up your backside and smuggled into the country to save your kidnapped child, drugs.

Day dreaming is what advanced the human race, not hard work. The art of being lazy, looking for shortcuts is why we advance, why things change. Not by sticking to the rules, to how things are always done.

Victory is to the day dreamer, and shalt all of humanity rejoice.

Doing nothing requires great skill and mental stamina...it's not for the faint-hearted.

The less you do,

the more you have time to do it.
