Welcome the Idle Mind

"An idle mind is a devil’s paradise". And any one who wouldn’t want to be in that state of ennui would keep themselves busy doing something. However recent research has proved boredom leads to creativity. Some of the path breaking scientific discoveries was a result of purely bored minds.
For example, take the case of Albert Einstein. Once, he was travelling with his wife in a carriage. His wife was fast asleep .Having nothing to do, he gazed out of the carriage absentmindedly at the landscape, the moving hedges and trees, relative to the carriage. It was then an idea struck his mind. He developed on it and thus was born the theory of relativity. If he was forever dissolved in his books (or always busy with his wife), would his busy mind be able to think out of the ordinary?
Newton definitely had to be jobless enough to sit under an apple tree and gauge what caused the apple to fall down. Had it not been for his joblessness then, we wouldn’t have been able to credit him with the discovery of gravity- the most fundamental aspect of planetary bodies.
Poets, artists, and of course writers are forever considered lazy souls always doing nothing . However the works born out of these devil’s paradises are considered masterpieces.
So enjoy the state of nothingness and let creativity spring forth from it.
