Definition von ‘Idleness’ nach  Joshua Glenn:

Idleness so called, which does not consist in doing nothing, but in going a great deal not recognized in the dogmatic formularies of the ruling class, has a good right to state its position as industry itself,” insisted a young Robert Louis Stevenson. How right he was! Idleness [from the Old English word “worthless, useless”] may look to the untrained eye like laziness, slacking, killing time. Unlike slacking though, idling is not the opposite of working hard, but is instead a rare, hard-won mode in which your art is your work, and your work is your art.
