One might find this
Blog to be faintly aggressive which is quite actually not my Tempo :) But was certainly
confounded to perceive conclusions made in an article I read, not recently but
in a distant past, that an 'Idle Mind' is more Innovative/Creative and conceive
numerous distinct thoughts. Thence Idleness is good as brain can work as a Free
Thinker, and was concluded with giving reference of some mappings & data.
The issue is not with
the conclusion as I know the conclusions were drawn in good perspective as
asking people to be more innovative/creative then remaining stagnated in the selfsame specific
work and only following whatever is taught to you, but the interpretation is confounding as the association
of the term ‘Idle’ with it, as to many its kinda slang to Homosapiens. Now as a
recipient like everybody else, I am certainly too baffled and it won't be wrong
in surmising this with our own idiosyncratic idle assumptions. And
as their conclusions has to be taken is verbatim, one could surmise what it
might meant if just perceived idly, that:
- Only an ‘Idle Mind’ is engulfed with distinct Thoughts/Innovations/Creativity, whatever, which may further be either penned down or could be further innovated for a desirable invented product or any substantial content. Now that can be kindred to any domain. It may be Content; Process; Product or subject specific.
But perceiving the
perplexity encompassed in the above perception; would still certainly pen down
my Idle thoughts if taken the above context of an Idle Mind in Verbatim:
Firstly, if only ‘Idle
Minds’ are flooded with many distinct novel thoughts/ expressions/ideas
engulfed into their energy soaked brains, then I presume all the eminent
authors/writers/columnists/innovators etc, actually pen down their contents or thoughts or invent any product when they are in a state of being Idle or are
certainly infused with Idle minds. The more you unfold your novel concept, the
more your association to Idleness will be proved. But now what about the public
acceptability? Certainly, not all their work is affirmed by many Homosapiens,
thence the contents which are infamous or the work which did not survive in the
course of time, like many plays, should be called as the work of an Idle Mind encompassed
with an only intention for destruction. Because if only public acceptability we
look for the success of any content or product, then the latter definitely proves
to be true.
And By the way, regarding
the affirmations given by many, we have perceived in many cases as what
level and kind of contents or products or works successfully found their place
in the market. And furthermore, how those
thoughts come into action, all salutation to PRs and Projectors and
their divine constructive non idle thoughts.
We all have heard the
quote as an Idle Mind is a Devil’s Workshop and is circumscribed with
Destructive Thoughts, but Mind encompassed with distinct ideas for Innovation/ Thoughts/Creativity
is the outcome of an Idle Mind, that’s surprising and in itself is a novel
concept. If our brain is actually idling, which in fact never, and if there are
constructive insights within our mind, how can we call it a state of Idleness? Can't we use any other terminology/word to explain this?
And furthermore what’s
constructive thinking? And who defines it when it can be further bifurcated into many
distinct notions because it can have enormous distinct interpretations.
And can we just define
the same under the ambit of 'restricted unless publicly accepted'?
Would be utterly amusing.
Moreover, as generally Beings
co-relate the Idleness with Devil’s Workshop, so either first explain the conclusions
before adopting this terminology/word to them or transmute the same into something else.
Even if you are in a
process of infusing your own mind with distinct ideas, cognate to creativity/innovation
or whatever, you are actually ‘critically doing something constructive’, which may again vary from person to person. So,
how can one call the outcome or result as the work of an Idle Mind? Bemused!
To work until the affirmation
of the Beings is received? It would be same as asking people to just flow with
the wind.
Contrary to the
subject discussed herein above, would one call it freedom of thoughts (as long as you don't abuse or harm someone) if asked or
presumably indirectly socially forced to follow the perceptions of only some
defined entities, without even further analyzing with your own mind whether you want to follow or not or does that even suits
your persona? And suppose, if some constructive perspectives are being
left in aloof, would they be the conception of an 'Idle Mind' by the mere
unacceptance of the masses or classes? More than amusing
it’s surprising.
Wondering
what those quintessence illustrious Historical Writers/Authors/Poets etc. who had written impeccable, novel and vigorous contents in their lives must be thinking if someone would have called their work, even in a good perspective, as the outcome of an Idle Mind :)
