    I wager he never heard of meditation. Must have been a troubled fella.

    Sure bro, keep telling yourself that. Hey, maybe go by a hospital or morgue to help people out, see if this crisis gets resolved faster, if you're so bored.

    "We've seen a year's worth of suicide attempts in the last four weeks." — ABC7 News.  Suicides on the rise amid stay-at-home order, Bay Area medical professionals say.  I don't need to volunteer at a morgue to know that house arrest for 300 million people will cause more damage than Covid's .1% fatality rate (double the seasonal flu).  Get over it.  Quarantine the sick, not the healthy.

    I don't know anyone who can meditate food onto their table or pay their rent via meditation — I'm not saying it is impossible but certainly a stretch for the common man.  The focus of the point is 'the absence of occupation' not the benefits of meditation.

    The active and laborious mind is ever moving closer to his human reality and development. The active mind grows and grows to a more civilized manner and tone. The active mind is adept to nonviolent solutions and conclusions. The active mind is ever inspired by beauty and  principled manners.
