“An abundance of leisure uninformed by a philosophy of life, substantial intellectual resources, or religious belief of some kind may give rise to escapism, meaningless routines, or rushing around. It seems that human beings are not programmed to enjoy unlimited amounts of leisure without unease and difficulty.”
Paul Hollander, The Only Super Power: Reflections on Strength, Weakness, and Anti-Americanism
