Hello, kind readers of @adsactly

<div class"text-justify">In some previous texts, I have said that we live in a society in which doing nothing is frowned upon. The human being must be in everything: to know everything, to understand everything, to talk about everything. We are globalized beings and therefore omniscience is a fundamental requirement to carry on day to day. It does not occur to anyone to say that he has nothing to do. We feel obliged to say and to remain in constant work, movement, activity. Our era is that of the big shopping malls where you can do many things without having to leave it and in the least amount of time possible: you go shopping, to the cinema, you have a coffee, you have a business appointment, everything very well timed and noted in an agenda. Doing a thousand things in the least amount of time possible is our goal, our dream. Do not leave time for leisure.

And you will tell me, dear friend, you have to work to pay debts, to have what we need and want. Crassus error! This is a belief very well developed by industrialized societies and by education in our family. First of all I must say that working longer does not always mean that you will earn more money, and even that you are doing more. There are times when we can sit for hours and hours in front of a computer, for example, without doing anything worthwhile, simply because we are tired and ideas don't flow, we are mentally collapsed. What's more, you can be working, and in the speed race that you have with time, you can make more mistakes and therefore not advance almost anything. Likewise, a person who works in a market stall 20 hours a day may earn less than an advertising executive who works 4 hours. Sometimes more work doesn't make more profit; sometimes stopping, stopping, it's necessary.

When we talk about a break, we talk about resting, about suspending for a moment the deadly routine we wear. Not only for our physical well-being, but also for our mental and spiritual well-being. It is necessary to breathe, sit down, empty our minds, close our eyes, put a parenthesis to our daily obligations; surely in this way we will not only release the stress but we will be able to replenish the energies to be able to continue ahead in a more effective and healthy way. It is normal that we live wrapped in inertia, in a routine, and one way or another, feel that it is better. But this letting go and doing things in a mechanical way, can make us not think well the things we are doing, we can even do them wrong.

If we review the things that are in our environment, we will realize that many of them are downloaded or must be turned off to work better later: the television, the cell phone, the computer, the car, must be turned off for a certain time and sometimes require to be supplied with some kind of energy.  It has always caught my attention how people have taken the habit, for example, of carrying cell phone chargers in their wallet, car, even in their hands, waiting for the slightest opportunity to plug in the mobile device and thus avoid being disconnected. It seems ironic that a society where disconnection to the Internet is a tragedy, a nightmare for anyone, is also a society that has disconnection with more important things, such as reality, family, the environment.

Given this reality, I came up with a brief story that I would like to share with you and that does not seem like something from a distant future or science fiction. I hope you know how to appreciate:

The man arrived haggard, pale and tired at the company's cafeteria. Lunchtime had passed and he only had ten minutes to have a coffee, so he had decided to invest that time to go down the cell phone, some very important documents for the company. He sat down and checked that he had a charger plug nearby, which was also unloaded. The red light on the white device gave him the signal he needed: it was charging. He immediately turned on the cell phone. A 5% battery was not enough, but he would try to do it as quickly as possible before returning to the office, he thought. The waitress came to his side and put a coffee on the table. There was the brown liquid, forgotten and cold, while the man navigated pages vertiginously. Its environment was no different: thousands of faces in a sea of luminous screens served as barriers or bubbles. The exhausted man massaged his neck, ran his fingers through his tired and cloudy eyes, felt a pressure on his head, a little tension in his chest. He does not realize but his body also has 5% battery, 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... little by little his heart is going out ...</div>

When we need rest, the body sends us signals in one way or another. We cannot let these signals pass, ignore them, because just like any artifact, object or machine, we will surely begin to fail and we will not be in the best conditions. That of doing things "until the body endures" can be useful at some times, but not always. I know thousands of people who live sleepwalking, withered, with a sore back, for pressing not only the body but also the mind. The idea is that we can disconnect from work, relax to "reset", rest a little, and then restart. We have to internalize that resting does not make us lazy, but in human beings. And if it helps us, remember that Isaac Newton discovered gravity by enjoying a nap.
