It is well known that time is a precious commodity with which a person can achieve eternal reward. The Evil Inclination knows this as well, so it initially tempts a person to get involved in too many business endeavors to distract him completely, contrary to our Sages instruction, ‘minimalize your work load and toil in Torah’. Then, lest he find some time to learn anyway, he distracts him daily with fat papers about kings and kingdoms, leaving him not one day free to contemplate his own situation.

Whoever cherishes his soul should stay far away from these things that steal his time and will thus thwart this evil scheme.
