Is your mind fully engaged at all times or do you turn it off and just vegitate. Most people do have times when they just sit and allow their mind to regroup and they do nothing. Pretty soon they're mind kicks back into gear and that they are off and running again. Sometimes people use alcohol and other drugs to get their mind in a state where it is doing nothing and yet it is doing something, it is just doing it in a different way.

Some people find pleasure in this and it seems to be very common, but even people who have altered their state of mind through an external substance generally will have something to talk about if they are still coherent. That is to say they are contemplating something. Recently I was told by a friend; You Always Have Something to Contemplate. This is true, actually I do and it did not matter if I was half asleep when they made that observation.
