We are used to stigmatising those who do nothing and lionising those who are busy.

What if we saw them as the ones who are creating a divided world, causing stress and unhappiness, putting our precious planet under unsustainable pressure?
What if those who are content with doing nothing, with just being, what if they were the heros and the role models?
