A MISCALCULATION – POPULAR FORMS OF ENTERTAINMENT AND PLEASURES

The shorter working week has given us more free time and if this time were used to relax and unwind, there would hardly be anything wrong with it. However, since the hurried pace has also invaded the most popular forms of entertainment and pleasures, sooner or later there will have to come a collapse somewhere. So far, the willingness to work has been greatly impaired, and the long weekend has led to people turning their backs on work, showing open dislike for it. The German poet Goethe observed that rest from work can be detrimental to the work ethic, saying, ‘Everything in life we can endure, except too many free days, to be sure.’ Many people find it much easier to stop work than to start it again. This is understandable, because work that does not give pleasure is like a punishment. On the other hand, if you use your free time in a leisurely manner, slowing down the pace, you will be able to return to your place of work with renewed vigour; the week will pass enjoyably because fresh strength will make your tasks and duties easier and so lead to happiness. A steady, persistent and joyful pace of work, and shorter rest periods, are better for our life, for our physical and mental health, than the unnatural change of pace that modern life has forced upon us.
