 Or you have some work to do, but there are people calling you not active, inactive because you do not work for their client employers. Slavery has modern forms in our today's societies. #basicincome 
 For example you have your own decisions about your life planning, but a Jobcenter tries to push you in another direction. Then this is not a wellbeing society. And we all can think about it, to change the circumstances. #basicincome 
 Your employer could close the door. You lose housing or your partner. You have quit the job because of terrible people in the company. You want to change the place you live. Everything what can happen in your live, would be easier with #basicincome ?! 
 Most people do something. To rest is doing something. You need time for building up your bodily or spirit situation. You have family or partner which need your help. So no one should ask you, what you're doing, because it's violate your dignity and it is your private matter. But there are always basic necessities. Food, shelter and so on. And the society could be interested in your wellbeing should #basicincome 
 
It is important to make your own decisions with basic income. Not only to know what other people say, but also what you have found out by yourself. For example how to pay for it. 

Basic income is in the first place production you share with others. You can support production, but you always have to have a part of it for your basic needs, and this not connected to the question, if you work or not.

That said means, their must be always enough production so you can carry those who not building houses, not make bread, not produce energy and so on.
