IDLENESS IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL


         It has been rightly said that an idle man’s brain is the devil’s workship. If one sits idle for a long period of time, one’s mind is likely to go astray and come up with mischief. On the other hand, if one keeps oneself busy and occupied one gets hardly any chance to think of unnecessary and irrelevant things to divert his mind and attention from the task at hand. Idleness often leads to indolence and fatalism. It may also lead one to take to evil ways. It must, therefore, be avoided at all costs and we should keep ourselves occupied all the time with constructive work and creative pursuits. That would take our mind off mischief and harming others.
