In today's world, the act of doing nothing is demonized. We have to produce 24 hours a day to not feel guilty. But who said that when we don't do anything, we really don't do anything? Slowing down the day, watching time move forward, watching life go by are essential for our daily lives and for those who prefer, using contemporary language, doing nothing is producing. Produce pleasure and comfort in life and observe ourselves with more affection.
