Life Without Leisure?

What would life be like for the child without moments of play? What would it be like for all human beings to be without any leisure at all and for the chance for its reCreative use? Leisure is a permanently fertile ground for self-realization. It is a perpetual fountain for discovering new interests and for uncovering hidden talents. Leisure is the pasture for self cultivation. The joy of originating, the pleasure of doing, and the satisfaction of accomplishment - all of these await us in our leisure.
