An idle mind rocks the devil!!

An idle mind is the devil's workshop! We have been drilled with this idiom during our school years. As a solution we have been asked to fill our minds with thoughts and constantly urged to think , think and think!!
Wow then we should have churned out a nation of thinkers! It just struck me this morning that most of our problems and issues are based on what 'others ' think - what will 'they' say/ think??

It is indeed hilarious but sadly true. As a nation we are still plagued with the problems of acquiring basic necessities like potable water, enduring electricity and toilets! Politics, caste-ism, education blunders, admission into schools& colleges, burning prices of vegetables and fruits are enough to keep us occupied for ten lifetimes!!


Yet we have time to 'think' of others? Citizens of developed nations have such hassle free living and no mundane problems. So their minds have lot of 'free space'. Yet they do not face stuff like what will 'they' think!!
Rather they churn out Einsteins, Friedmans, Welchs, Buffet, Gates, Jobs, Kings, Madonnas , Eminems.


I think it is high time to spell out what to think and also change the old adage- an idle mind rocks the devil!  


Eureka!!!
