A friend of mine recently became angry over the idleness of his 19-year-old son."He's doing nothing."he said bitterly. Road rage and office rage are familiar to us. But now idlenessrage has emerged.Frequently I hear people complain about the idleness of young people.Often their complaints reach a feverish pitch. What's behind this rage?Some people fear we are spawning a generation of slackers.But it's more likely that our fast-paced culture blinds us to the need to slow down.What's your opinion,Mylot friends?

what about you?Do you just want to idle ?I think most of the people don't like a fast pace life and want to live at their ease.It does not matter because usually if kept away from work for long,nobody can enjoy himself.The point is how to keep a balance between recreation and work.

The usual thought is that the person who is idle is being unproductive and instead, could utilize his/her time to actually do something productive. Mostly it's either teachers or parents who complain about their sons or daughters not doing thing. This is mainly because they're afraid of their children becoming lazy, they want them to something to enrich their knowledge, physique, etc. They want the youth to utilize every moment they have to come up in this highly competitive world. After all, who wouldn't want to see their children prosper? :) They know that hard work is definitely needed! Anyway, that's just my opinion :)
