Tired by the thought of resting

The insane weight of societal and perceived expectations and personal ambitions often converges into an oppressive force, pressuring individuals not to rest.

In a relentless pursuit of success and being busy, the modern world demands constant productivity, leaving little room for rest and relaxation. Worse still, we often push this on to others such as our children.

The fear of falling behind or being perceived as lazy amplifies this pressure, creating a culture where rest is viewed as a luxury rather than a necessity.

The constant hustle and bustle can lead to burnout, affecting both physical and mental well-being. Breaking free from this cycle requires a shift in mindset, acknowledging that rest is not a sign of weakness or laziness but a crucial element of overall health.

Basically, sitting around and not doing anything for a few hours is fine, just do it and don’t feel guilty.
