Problem Of Leisure
We Westerners do not know how to. do nothing. We cannot bear pleasure for more than half an hour at a stretch. We cannot stand the intolerable tedium of leisure. We loathe a long holiday. Even a picnic drives us mad; Agricultural labourers die six months after retiring. Unworking middle-class people die slowly all their lives. It will take 300 years conditioning to make us fit for the Leisure State. ~ John Stewart Collis.
