I am what you can rightly describe as a relaxaholic.A Relaxaholic is the just opposite of a workaholic. But the relaxaholic doesn't relax himself to death. He is not bothered at all for not having something to do. I have been a relaxaholic for some time now. It requires great facility of mind to remain one. The only time I get a bit irritated is when people ask me if I don't get bored.I think it is a question born out of ignorance. One has to be really stupid to get bored when one chooses to do nothing in particular. Boredom creeps into a mind that is devoid of ideas and imagination. What happens to most people is that in their quest of whatever they think brings them happiness , be it wealth, securiy, fame, social status or just something that offers them the excuse to be busy, they forget to nourish their minds - with serious consequences when the day comes when they are not really required by others to perform the job which they foolishly believed only they could do.Then they find themselves completely at sea since they are no longer needed to do the only job they really know. It is a really pathetic situation. As I had already said only stupid people get bored.It was a wise man who said"If I am going to be a prisoner of my mind ,I prefer my cell to be well-furnished." Really wise words, those and applicable to all those workaholics out there whose minds are as blank as the wall they will be left to stare at when they no longer will become indispensable to the very job they thought will remain unfinished if it were not for them.
