What is everyone doing?

Interestingly, this cuts into something I was thinking about today.

I've felt very tired and spent quite a while doing nothing and thinking.

I felt guilty as I have rather a puritan streak that tells me I should always be doing something useful.

So, here's a question or two.

What is doing? Must it involve action?

If you are sitting thinking and can solve a crime doing so, like Poirot, then I think that's still a good thing (although not all of us have crimes to solve).

Also, do others feel guilty if they are sedentary?

I believe it must involve action, even if that action is sitting and thinking.

I don’t feel guilty if I am sedentary because then I can contemplate and meditate, hopefully attaining a state of ‘being’ rather than ‘doing’.
