Doing nothing - highly underrated. I think it's the closest I have to a philosophy on life, and it's beautifully expressed by the above Spiritualized song. I certainly realised from most of my early attempts to do good in life that they were doing more harm than good, so "don't just do something, sit around instead"
Almost as good as Doing Nothing is Feeling Nothing. Harder to manage, but still a very valuable tool. Toot-toot, he breaks into song ....
Sometimes it's kinder not to care
as the cameras glare and flash.
Indifference is respect -
to disregard the crash,
It's kinder not to care about
each last ebbing ideal,
not to feel a thing
if you don't know what to feel.
