Leisure and the modern man.
As the name suggests it means time free from all kinds of work. As humans we need free time to enjoy ourselves but unfortunately we are so busy with our daily routines that we don't have time to enjoy the beauty of nature around us.
We don't have time to go into the woods and watch squirrels playing and hiding nuts.
Modern man is working like a machine from dawn to dusk. He has no time to sit with his family and friends. It's a poor life if we can't find time for ourselves.
If we study the lives of ancient people, they were happier than us even though they did not have the facilities that we have today. His life was very difficult but he could easily bear all the difficulties with a smiling face only because he had a good companion.
Paper money was not even dreamed of and barter system was used to fulfill their basic needs. If a person grows large crops and other implements, the former then the latter:
so the former has given the latter crops in exchange for the iron implements that he used to dig the soil for growing the crops.
But as time passed, man got modern education and found various ways to fulfill his needs, his greed increased and he became a machine to live a luxurious life instead of a simple and easy life.
Although man has achieved a lot, his soul is deprived of all worldly gains. Not satisfied. Peace of soul lies in the natural way of life to be social, to be connected with people of one's own kind. We have said that now the reverse should be started towards the life that existed in the universe. If this routine goes on man would lose peace of mind.
We have to find leisure time for us to enjoy the beauty around us if we want to live peacefully as our ancestors used to live.
