I used to feel guilty on the days I couldn't point to anything I'd 'done.'

But some of my most important processing happened while I was staring out a window, or lying on the floor, or doing absolutely nothing visible. 1/2

Rest isn't the absence of productivity. Sometimes it is the work. Not all activity is productive, and not all productivity is active.

@hmm_cook The awful world that we built, knowing exactly what we were doing, is based on MONEY, and the work we do to make #billionaires even richer.

Work is what we must do to survive. Rest is also what we need, also to survive.

We *could* have centred our world on people (and the other living things in our shared world)...

@PatternChaser As a society, yes, but your individual life can be very different. Even if you work for a large corporation, that makes billionaires richer, you can make your personal days better than that.

@hmm_cook Yes, but that's despite the torture of our profit-based world, not because of it. ... You're right, though. We make the best of what we have. 😉
