Carl Jung and Idleness

"Were it not for the leaping and twinkling of
the soul," said psychologist Carl Jung, "human beings would rot away in
their greatest passion, idleness." To that edgy observation I would add
this corollary: One of the greatest and most secret forms of idleness
comes from being endlessly busy at unimportant tasks. If you are way too
wrapped up in doing a thousand little things that have nothing to do with
your life's primary mission, you are, in my opinion, profoundly idle. All the
above is prelude for the climactic advice of this week's horoscope, which
goes as follows: Give everything you have to stimulate the leaping and
twinkling of your soul.
