Leisure Defined

The term "leisure" is taken from the Latin word "licere" which means "to be permitted" or "to be set free." The most common definition in our society sees leisure as a block of free time. It is time when we are free from the obligations and necessities of life. It is time which we can use according to our own judgements. It is time beyond the duties and responsibilities of life. Leisure is neither good nor bad. What matters is what use is made of it.
