Do nothing Activity

Last week we were given the assignment to do nothing. At first it seemed like it would be a really easy assignment because it was to "do nothing". But as I started, I realized it is very hard to do nothing. No matter what we are doing at anytime, we're either talking, watching something, looking at something, sitting, walking, but we are never actually doing nothing. In our society, if some one isn't doing something it will appear odd. For example, when I went to my family dinner, I just stood in the middle of the room not doing anything. My cousins kept coming up to me asking if something was wrong and why I wasn't doing anything. Afterwards, I thought to myself, Why would doing nothing be out of the norm in our society? People in our society are always active. No matter what we're doing we are staying active as if to achieve something and to succeed. By doing nothing, we are doing something. Because nothing is something and nothing comes along with how we're sitting or even where we're looking at.
