Simplified Meaning:
When someone is lazy and not doing anything productive, they might start to pick up bad habits because they are bored and looking for something to do. For example, a person who has nothing to do might start gambling or lying just to feel excited or to pass the time. On the other hand, taking time to rest and think carefully can lead to good decisions and creative ideas. Imagine a writer who takes a break from working on their story; during this rest, they might come up with the perfect plot twist. So, while doing nothing can sometimes lead to problems, it can also give people the time they need to think and improve their lives. It's all about how one uses that time of idleness.
