More on Idle Hands.
Sep. 23rd, 2014 08:16 pmLife is epically better since I have returned to college night school. It is time to get down to some serious homework. There is an old Puritan saying. “Idle hands are the Devil’s workshop.” It is a paraphrase of the Bible statement saying the following. “One who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys” (Proverbs 18:9). It goes along well with Aristotle’s famous quote. “Man is by nature a goal seeking animal.” Both say in essence that if you don’t have something good to do you will be sure to seek something BAD to do with your time. Eating junk food, playing video games, and worse hobbies will soon fill your day. Our government lacks subsidies that many other governments have for students, and many studies say it leads to much higher crime rates compared to other nations. Night school online was good, but classroom classes are far better. It may get annoying dealing with the crowds at first, but dialogue is a far better teacher in comparison to reading cold textbooks.
