Doing nothing is a crime?

All said and done there is only to sit and enjoy what is, just being in this moment and time doing nothing and accomplishing everything. How can this be, you ask. Well go figure it out yourself or simply stop chasing after what is non-sense and start making sense in your life. When the wise ones said nothing is permanent, why do we keep hankering and clinging on to the impermanent? This makes no sense and yet many would kill or be killed over things  that one  cannot take with one to the grave. So blinded by our thirst and desire for the trinkets of this life that we neglect to  foster what is the permanent nature of our very essence as a human being. We have a insatiable appetite, enough is never enough for so long as there is more to be had and when we have we hold  on to, we cling on to even when it was of no use to us anymore. Often ungrateful for what we have we accuse others who has less or in need as not as diligent or inferior in not demanding for more like everyone else.
And so, 'work hard boy, someday you'll a job like mine!' This is how we live out our lives and we pass it on to our children and they theirs. It's a dog eat dog world out there kid,  eat or be eaten, We sow fear into the minds of our young as soon as they are capable of thinking. If you want to drive a car like this you have to earn it, you have to be the best, ahead of the pack, and you have sowed the competitive drive in your child's mind and he/she would stop at nothing to get the car of your dream. As the next generation comes along the competitiveness grows more intense as racial and national boundaries breaks down. 
Oh, what a busy life it has been and it does not get any less as we move along into the future, not to do anything would be a crime against humanity. 
"What do you do for a living?" 
"Nothing."
"Nothing?!"
"Oh, I eat when I am hungry, sleep when I am sleepy and sit and watch the grass grow."
"Arrest this man! He is good for Nothing!"

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."- Edmund Burke 

Evil is the result of man trying hard to do something where nothing is needed done. Our need to do something to prove to others how intelligent or how far superior we are or simply to justify our existence is an illness we suffer without much concern for its repercussions, Ignoring this is evil.
