In an agricultural society, people could have a proper rest according to the change of seasons. However, modern society where machines help to work regardless of season compels us to work with less leisure time than before. In this situation, it is hard for people to live their lives, and they have some problems because of not having enough relaxing time. Then what kinds of troubles do people have if there isn't good leisure time?   One of the typical problems is the damage of mental health. As the technology is improved, it makes humans use their brain and intelligence, not physical things. In other word, mental labor is more necessary in our society. So, if someone who works with her or his head can't take a rest timely, it will be so stressful that her or his work could be affected negatively.   Another bad point is physical problems. As mentioned above, mental labor is the main work resource now and this naturally allows people to be familiar with the sedentary lifestyle. Sitting all the time causes the lack of exercise and in turn people could be in bad condition.   Lastly, having time to recharge could be reduced without enough rest. The work is the action which takes something like knowledge or wisdom from people. However, if people keep using their inner resources without refilling, all of things disappear and nothing remains. While people take a rest, they can be recharged and have new resources for the future. Among the essential factors in our lives, it seems that proper leisure time is the most important one. During that time, people can check how healthy they lead their lives and stuff an empty space in mind with the useful knowledge. For these reasons, enough time for leisure and rest is necessary in society. Do you think that you work enough? Then take a rest and enjoy your time enough too.
