RE: Take A Break...

in #psychology6 years ago

François de la Rochefoucauld used to say: "When you can't find rest in yourself, it's useless to look elsewhere. We live in a society that overestimates work, whoever is doing nothing is a person without a job, who wastes time. Time in our society is a currency, a luxury that cannot be wasted. That's how we were raised! We are people who live thinking about the clock and how to make the hours reach for everything. Stressed people, consumers of pills, junk food, quick kisses. Since when don't we watch a sunset, since when don't we smell a flower, since when don't we taste a good wine, a good meal, a good kiss? We don't have time! I always use animals as an example! See how they know when to withdraw, when it is necessary to isolate themselves to lick their wounds, when the weight on their back is too much and they get rid of it. If we love each other, we must give ourselves the opportunity to rest, we do not deserve them. I loved this text to end the day, @rok-sivante. Thank you.
