Envy, I used to envy people that derive most out of something,

2 majors in 1 degree,

3 university-club titles in 1 semester,

4 catch-ups in 1 day…

 

While life itself makes sure everyone’s a loser at the end,

winners are commonly-defined

as individuals with the most to lose, upon earthly-departure.

 

Since,

“Idle” and “Excess” became bad terms.

It means wastage, inefficiency, or sub-optimality.

 

And “busy” becomes the most powerful word in English.

It blocks work-inflow with respect.

It ends awkward conversations with dignity.

It even kills relationship with delay.

 

People don’t usually leave multiple-choice-question unfilled.

They take their chance.

People don’t idle or wait long.

They take that as guilt.

 

Equating optimality to zero-vacancy,

is a fallacy of mankind

to acknowledge that the idle-capacity of life

has its utility.

Less is more.

We live like this.

Most of us.

 

While people go all means to be fast

I enjoy the Monday that I wake up at 3pm.

I enjoy the hours spent looking into her eyes and do nothing.

While life has all things to offer

I enjoy being the fool that forgo some of the chases

Not the people that chasing to be full.

Now, it’s sympathy.
