Leisure means time without any burden of the daily works. It is time when one is free. In some particular hours of the day or some particular days of the week we can get leisure. Different people spend leisure in different ways. Of course, leisure has a great value on our physical and mental sound health. Without leisure life becomes dull and monotonous.
We all believe in the necessity of works. But the works without rest hamper the quality of the works as well as it tires the man.
Leisure, in fact, brings a welcome relief. It gives freshness to our mind and recreates our energy.
Work is good, it is obligatory also because no man can live without work for a living. Over work is really harmful. 'All work and no play makes jack a dull boy,' says the proverb.
Leisure is no indolence, but a change for more congenial occupation. The more important thing is that one must know how to use it properly. An average man would seek an escape from the busy atmosphere of work into an open air life. He/she may also have a pleasant hobby of gardening, riding, rowing, sport, painting or listening to music.
People living in villages and cities spend their leisure differently. Most of the male persons in villages spend their time in tea stalls talking among themselves. Female persons gather in one place, talk frankly. But in cities, People usually watch television. They visit zoos, Parks and other remarkable places.
However, a life without leisure is a life without pleasure. A man who cannot spare the time for a holiday or afford to enjoy the various sorts of beauty of nature, his life is surely unfortunate. So we should avail leisure and utilize it for our physical and mental peace and happiness.
