to be busy abstaining is not the not doing of refraining
I didn’t leap a tall building this morning. I’m not that super guy. I didn’t find the last irrational digit, and would’t even try.
Didn’t do two things at once, or even one thing twice. (Although when it comes to helpings, a second might be nice.)
I didn’t do and don’t plan to, but that doesn’t mean refraining. You’d think this more than onerous, but I can not-do without straining.
I have to be selective in what I choose not to do with a measure of intention. It’s easier to inventory omissions without the overhead of paying attention.
