*In this post, I stated my thoughts, someone replied, and I replied back.*
Me: Idle words are those that we choose to share for no reason at all. They fill space just because they can. Some people talk just to hear themselves talk or to fill the empty space around them. To be idle is a narrower way of saying lazy. Idle people are never moving forward, rather backwards as they sift through space and time never making an effect on the world around them.

Response: Comparing writing and talking really helped me understand the effect of “idle,” and I fully agree to your last statement about idle things never making a difference in the things around them. This thought also came to me as I thought about the question. What do you think can help fix this problem of idleness?
Me: One simple way to fix this problem can be summed up in one word: education. There is a concept in humanities called The Abundant Life vs. Cultural Poverty. The more we know the more power we have. The more power, the more you are compelled to act and to reach beyond your limit of space and make a difference in the world around you. With education comes the power to do differently than you would otherwise.
