“I suggest that we should think of the time spent in creative thought, in quiet reflection and contemplation, in mental replenishment, in consolidation of our identity and values in positive terms - not as what it is not, but what it is. It is time to restore our psychological well-being. It is time to promote growth as human beings. It is time to unleash our imaginations.

It is time to protect our sanity. It is time to understand who we are and who we are becoming. ‘Wasting time’ engaged in the activities I've described is far from immoral uselessness. It may be the most important occupation of our minds.”

“Invisibly, almost without notice, we are losing ourselves. We are losing our ability to know who we are and what is important to us. We are creating a global machine in which each of us is a mindless and reflexive cog, relentlessly driven by the speed, noise, and artificial urgency of the wired world.”

~ In Praise of Wasting Time, by Alan Lightman
