One of the most obvious characteristics of people in modern society is their state of being busy. Look at crowded people in the subway and people rushing into the street. It seems that they’re just running fast to compete with time. Think about it! Since you have been busy for so long, how much your life quality have been improved? Sometimes, being busy of low quality is worse than being lazy.
Every item and object in this world has its own rhythm, just as pulse of vessel, breath of your lung and beat of your muscles and bones. Even the exchange of day and time and updating of different seasons contains the connotation of working and rest. Nothing in this world could keep the same state eternally because life is all about changes. We have to admit that something might happen in a reluctant way, but being reluctant also functions within a certain range.
Power of our human body, whether from body or mind, shall be exhausted if going extreme. The principle is just like a bow and string. The string might break up if ou just draw the bow without leaving your hand. Our daily life nowadays is just like a bow and string ready to function. But we just focus on its speed rather than concentrating on conserving enough power. So we are now always living in a tired state both in mind and body.
Some people may consider it more effective to postpone our working time. For example, if we can walk 100 miles a day, we can walk longer if you just keep this speed on without any rest. But the tough fact is that we might get illness or diseases, or our energy might be consumed up and we need to have a rest to restore our energy. But our bad habit is just to work continuously without any stop, like a machine. However, nothing creative can be achieved in the process of their being busy of low quality.
We need to rest in a smart way to restore our energy and creativity. We need proper rest to improve our efficiency in dealing with different problems in our life.
