Beloved of All
To me, busyness is a form of dictatorship. Because with a dictator, you can't do your own thing, you're like a puppet of the dictator state, and with busyness, you don't get a chance to, because it occupies your whole time and agenda. So one isn't free, and neither is the other. I think the devil can use busyness to keep you from getting to God. This is my problem, the constant busyness, which doesn't let me do my own schedule or needs. Every time I try to do something, something pops up at the "wrong" time. Or to meet my own human needs. You're not even human anymore when you're busy, you're just a machine that keeps going and going.
