Although it can be said that human history is a history of continuous labor for survival. But labor is not the purpose of life, but the means to realize life.

Aristotle said in Politics: "What human nature pursues is not only being competent for labor, but also being able to enjoy leisure safely. Here we need to emphasize again that leisure is the only source of all life. If both are necessary, then leisure is more desirable than work, and it is the purpose of the latter, so we should think about what people should do in their leisure time.

A reading club in Changsha organized an offline activity, and the host led everyone to explore the meaning of leisure in a quiet cafe.

First of all, the main sharer only shared his views on leisure:

What is leisure?

Leisure should be opposite to busyness.

Leisure of people who are not busy is meaningless.

As Li She said, "All day long, I was in a daze, and suddenly I heard that I was trying my best to climb the mountain. I had to stay for half a day because of the monk's words. " If you are in a chaotic leisure state for a long time and spend the limited time in your life for no reason, people will not understand the meaning behind leisure. Only when we appreciate life in relaxation, relaxation and leisure can we capture the value of leisure.

Leisure should correspond to the heart.

It is a kind of spiritual relaxation and pleasure.

As Ling Mengchu said, "Singing elegant songs in the morning, singing Fu Bixing in the evening, watching fish and insects in autumn and vegetation in spring." Leisure can be a very interesting and elegant lifestyle, which is the extension and rhythm of the soul.

What's the point of leisure?

Leisure, not vulgar.

Aristotle believes that people can only be happy in their leisure time, and proper use of leisure is the basis of being a free man all their lives. Busy is to survive, but in your spare time, you can slow down and enjoy life. People keep a leisurely attitude in their leisure time, the essence of which is the freedom of the soul and the return of the subject.

Leisure, not bitterness.

Russell believes that if a person does not have enough leisure in life, it is impossible to get in touch with many beautiful things. If a person is always immersed in his own journey, he is doomed to miss the beautiful scenery along the way. "Quiet" to realize, "slow" to dive back and forth, "stop" to watch calmly.

Leisure is not idleness.

Paul Kochakin once said that when he looked back, he would not regret wasting time, nor would he be ashamed of doing nothing. Leisure is not a waste of time. Human life is precious, and spending time on valuable things, even leisure, is full of vitality and significance.

How to get leisure?

Leisure can be obtained from "Dao" and "Shu".

Tao is the way of leisure. Leisure, affection.

When you are busy, leave yourself room for meditation, thinking and precipitation; Listen to your inner voice, pursue and expand; Open your mind to discover and collide; Shake hands with literature and art, feel and experience.

Art is the art of management. Be reasonable and reasonable.

Time is fair to everyone, and everyone has 24 hours a day. How to allocate and adjust the 24-hour time flow and energy is a management skill that everyone should learn. Manage these 24 hours, straighten out and make plans.

Listen to what others say.
