What kind of absent-mindedness is regarded as a virtue by Lynd?

उत्तर
Scientists, poets, anglers, and philosophers forget prosaic things. Their minds are absorbed in lofty thoughts and glorious imaginations that they forget ordinary things. Socrates, Tagore, and Einstein had the virtue of absent-mindedness. Einstein usually forgot to change his rocks. Once he even forgot his own house address. The absent-mindedness of such great personalities is a virtue. As they make the best of life, they have no time to remember the mediocre.
