You mean " idle. " It's an old saying. " Idle hands are the devils' workshop. " Idleness for it's own sake is never a good thing.

Both eastern and western philosophy is the luxury of the indolent, like those of us who hang out at Yahoo Answers. Neither eastern nor western philosophy or religion has done much for the betterment of mankind hear on earth. For that we turn to science. The epistemology and applications just work a whole lot better.

I don't consider meditation as being idle. It take great courage to look at yourself deeply and much discipline to stay at it.
