"To do nothing at all is the most difficult thing in the world, the most difficult and the most intellectual." -Oscar WildeSuffice to say, I'm a "practicing" intellectual. The less I do, the more potential I have to learn something new. Thinking is most perfect when done alone, in the absence of any other activity. Wilde's point seems to be that thinking, as a solitary labor, is that which is most difficult. It has the appearance of inactivity, but it is the greatest challenge in a world defined by industriousness. Let me know if that sounds about right to you...
The thoughts of a chronically exhausted young woman. When you're too tired to move, you tend to do a lot of thinking.
