Idleness refers to the state of being idle, inactive etc when it comes to economic prosperity and growth idleness is one thing that fights against it from the times of old till now any individual or even country that has had economic power is one that was not idle but always active engaging in one activity or the other that will be helpful to the economic growth of that person or country
As an individual, you can be active, not idle, but engaged in the wrong activities that, even with all your engagement, will not lead to any sort of economic progress.
This is why you must be selectively involved and pick the activities that you choose to give your time to because some activities may seem productive, but in the actual sense they are not productive, just a waste of time.
You're right being engaged with one activity or the other is not actually a problem but the question is that, the activity you're engaged to is it something that can add a value to your life? or probably you just want to feel among so that you won't be considered as someone who always like staying idle? Moreover, with the way the country is going now if you don't work hard their will be no food for you.
sometimes I keep wondering why most people always choose to stay idle when their hands and legs is still functioning properly, as long as this parts of the body is still functioning very well of course they're alot of jobs out there that can pay you on a daily basis instead of staying idle. you know if you keep staying idle maybe for some couple of days and it happens to be that this past few days you have been starving, you know at this point you will start having negative thoughts sometimes this can even lead you into stealing what doesn't belongs to you.
Of course the bible made it very clear to us that an idle man is a devil workshop, However as a human being and you're making use of your two hands and as well your two legs of course is always advisable to engage yourself in one activity or the other when doing this you need to look for the one that can add a value to your life, because Is only those who are deformed that is meant to stay idle why most of them still struggle regardless to their health condition.
