"When I ask someone what they are doing and they tell me
They are doing nothing, they are, in fact, usually doing something.
Whereas if someone asks me what I am doing, and I tell them I am doing nothing, I, am, in fact, actually doing Nothing. Few people, outside jails or hostpitals, have spent more Time lying on a bed looking at a wall. Or on a sofa, or in a chair, or on a floor. Or looking at a floor, or a cealing. Or with eyes shut."
