not doing without doing not doing is a basic concept yet seems beyond many...
even this thread is trying to not do in terms of replacing what you don't do with something else most of the time... it seems like the meaning of simply 'stopping' and not doing anything at all is long lost to us...

a slightly more advanced version of this concept is mentioned in the tao te ching 'acting without acting' or 'doing without doing'...
