i am always eager to have the ‘time to do nothing’. In fact, i would proudly at times proclaim, i am at best, while doing nothing. Unfortunately, such notion or opinion would invite almost immediate outright dislike or hapless disdain from mostly unsuspecting listeners. After all, we are living in a tiny compact island; a global city state that is world renowned to be ultra expensive and the residents, extremely busy. As such, almost everything here is pricey and time is priceless. But why should such thoughts be abhorred when possibly great breakthrough ideas may be conceived during the time to do nothing moments. Just like the anecdotal stories of isaac newton discovering the laws of gravity, while contemplating under an apple tree; or achimedes of syracuse arriving at the eureka moment, thus conceiving the equivalent to the theory of specific density, whilst enjoying his quite moment in a bathtub. After all, we all know, the beloved prophet pbuh was approached by the angel jibrail to receive the very first revelation, while being alone at hira cave, thinking, reflecting, contemplating.
