This is a workaholics generation. No rest till death takes people away from the earth. This is one thing that I have observed in this generation. People work and work and work, yet problems keep increasing. We don't have enough money and yet we don't have enough time to spend the little money that we have made. This is madness. When people don't care about themselves again just because they want to make money and end up living others to enjoy or waste the money that they left behind. What a world!
Pure madness. The generation before us were never like this. I know that most of our fathers were farmers and that they always go to the farm. But that did not stop them from having a little time for themselves. They had days when they don't go to the farm. They also had days to relax with friends maybe under a mango tree and gist. But see this our generation, is something else. I know of a man that was a banker. He lives home very early every day before his children wakes up. He also returns home very late in the night when the children are already asleep. So, one faithful Sunday we decided to take a day off to stay with his family. When the children woke up they saw him at home and the first son who was about six ask his mother if this man sitting in their sitting room is their uncle who came to visit them. The mother was shocked when she heard that. She narrated the whole story to her husband who made a decision never to go back to the bank again, instead he looked for another job that will give him time with the kids. That is where we have gotten to as a generation that is working so hard to pay bills.
Every one wants to make sure that bills are paid and the family is doing okay. But that has taken us away from our family and ourselves too. Some of us don't get time to sleep in the day time even if it is for an hour. When it comes to night too we have limited time to sleep. Some come back very late. Before they will birth and eat there will be no time to rest. This is the reason why we hear of cases when people slump and die. If only we will learn how to have enough rest, we will live long and not die before our time.
My little health tip for us today is having enough rest. Rest should be one of our priority. Resting makes us work better afterwards. If we don't rest we can not do better because the Brian needs to rest so that it will bounce back better. Learn to assign task to others so that you can have rest for yourself. If we want to do everything by ourselves. Then what happens when we are gone? The whole work will collapse when we are no longer there. Give yourself some rest.
