Sometimes we get caught up in laziness and not wanting to do anything. We spend time doing nothing which result into no value and it results into waste of time. One thing is for sure that the most valuable and precious thing of life is Time, it's not money, gold, commodities or anything materialistic. They can all come and go, but time once lost is lost forever; you can never bring it back. At the same time, once in a while it's ok to be lazy and not do anything.
It is equally true that every single moment we cannot be doing something meaningful but every single moment we can be mindful and that is even when we are in our lazy mode. By being mindful even, the time we spend leisurely will become meaningful. Life is too short to get caught up in unnecessary actions and emotions. I learned some of these lessons from one of my relatives who is now no more. In her youth days she did not do any work, she was a home maker but she was so lazy that she did not even do anything at home. She had helpers who did everything for her.
Over a period of time she started developing ailments; she had diabetes, high pressure issues and some other things also. As she started getting old her mobility kept reducing and then in the end, she became bed ridden and passed away. Even if she had to pass all the time in her life leisurely, she could have brought some meaning to her life if she would had been mindful. Her whole life went by without doing anything meaningful, not only that with all of that her brain had become so dull and it all started impacting her physical health, which only kept going down with time.
I was very young then and I always used to wonder looking at her, how can one not do anything in life. To be honest, on some days when it would be very hectic for me, I would envy her and think to myself wish I had that life. But then as I matured I realized how toxic that life was to not do anything at all. Laziness feels good sometimes but all the time it can be harmful. One needs to have some purpose in life else it's very easy to let life just slip away. If life has no purpose then it can become a case like of my family member.
