Idleness is the mother of all vices. Why is idleness bad?

It has been so long since: people praise labor and dishonor idleness. They say: "Idleness is the mother of all vices!" Why so, and why do nothing bad?

Labor liberates and idleness enslaves

idleness is the mother of all vices

For the most part, a working person believes quite the opposite, but this is not so. Those who earn a living have no time to waste themselves, although sometimes you really want to indulge in laziness and lie in a hammock for days on end, but this is only because there is hard work, and if there was no work? What would happen in this case? Probably, then people would have learned from their own experience why idleness is the mother of all vices. I do not want to say anything against psychological and psychoanalytic practice, but experts in this field make good money exclusively on the wives of wealthy people who have nowhere to put themselves. They do not know how to take their time, which they have a chasm.

Idleness. Collider. G.V. Hegel.

There is one myth that thinking is good. Thinking people are respected. Yes, all this is so. But there is a subtlety. A person who is thinking about how to improve the Hadron Collider or to outdo George Wilhelm Hegel is one thing. Such a person reads, ponders a lot, and even if he does not go to work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., you cannot call him a loafer, he is not afraid of vices. And imagine a woman who has not picked up a book for 10 years, watches endless talk shows and thinks about whether her husband loves or not? And thoughts like this spin in her head all day? So you can go crazy, right?

Therefore, psychologists and psychoanalysts are needed. They collect a certain tax from the phenomenon, behind which stands the expression "idleness is the mother of all vices." Now imagine that a hypothetical housewife does not think about whether she loves or not, but simply brings the house in perfect order, preparing delicious dishes for her husband and children. And at worst, she still goes to work. There would be no extra thoughts in her head. “Idleness is the mother of all vices” - this is not about her. She is no longer an idle man.

Litters gives birth to idleness and boredom

a proverbial idleness mother of all vices

Popular rumor, as always, is right in general and not right in particular. There is such a term: “golden youth” are the children of rich people who take everything from life. By "everything" is meant pleasure forbidden and permitted. And people’s attitude towards this group is biased. Most believe that the "golden youth" as a class can only waste their lives, giving nothing in return to either their parents or the world, but this, fortunately, does not apply to everyone. There are some children of wealthy parents who understand that in life they hit a jackpot and it’s a sin not to use it. In other words, the saying “Idleness is the mother of all vices” does not always work; she misfires too. Much depends on parenting and the moral content and content of the child himself.

This turned out to be a small composition according to the proverb “Idleness is the mother of all vices”.
