Where you don't need to rest

You can rest in different ways. Clear stump. At the dacha, for example, in a museum, in a store, at a disco in a nightclub … Well, you see, these are the most common places of recreation. Is not it? And now I will say that these are all "cultural" myths. None of the listed places can you properly rest, and that's why …

In the country

Those who have a summer cottage will tell you that they mainly cultivate the soil on it and grow fruits and vegetables, and do not rest at all. In addition, the dacha is suitable for normal life in summer, because in winter you can easily freeze limbs. There is, of course, a special type of dachas adapted for recreation, but they are usually owned by Alla Pugacheva, high-ranking officials and just millionaires. So mere mortals do not have to rest at their own dacha.

But what about the summer cottage rest with friends, you ask, kebabs there and all that. Well, suppose, then it turns out not a rest, but a booze. And I doubt that the next morning you will feel like a rested person. There is one more type of so-called summer cottage rest. But here the clinic is special. I will give a real example from the life of my friend. Invited her, which means, a friend to relax at the dacha, under the summer sun to warm the feathers. A friend of mine, deciding that in this way she would spend the weekend ideally, armed with a bathing suit, drove to the dacha to her friend. She, having given her tea, calmly suggested: "People, well, let's go, maybe we'll pop a potato, but let's chat!" And she had no choice but to go and weed this very potato. As she later admitted: "I would have been better off on my bed all day off than weeding these nasty potatoes! I hate it when they plow me!" So here's your "summer vacation".

In the museum

And in other places, saturated with all sorts of sights, it would seem that you can relax easily and pleasantly, and most importantly with benefit, because you feel with all your fibers how you join the big and pure, high and beautiful. What do you object to, it would seem? But no!

Well, let’s say that museums are a static concept and it’s a pity to waste time on an exhibition that I have already seen. Ballet, big cinema, theater here, mind you, do not count, this is another category. Secondly, it can be difficult for people who are far from art to get aesthetic pleasure from the daub called modern painting, and therefore stupid walking around the canvases, I think, can be perceived not as a rest, but again a waste of time. However, if it gives pleasure to someone, for God's sake …

In the shop

At one time, various women's magazines were very fond of giving good advice: "Do you want to relax and get rid of stress? Shopping is for you!" I would like to ask, what kind of stores did they go to and at the same time not only got rid of stress, but also had a rest? I am sure that most of the citizens and women are stressed there. In expensive stores - from the fact that they cannot afford to purchase the presented goods, and if they can, then not as often as we would like. In other words, you can rest in a store only if you have huge amounts of money, because your head does not strain about "Buy - not buy!"

And there is nothing to say about cheap shops and market stalls. The crowd carries you, every now and then either you bump into someone, running away from a very terrible (and albeit cheap !!!) product, or some hangover-looking comrade will fit into you, who snatched a bottle of triple cologne from the counter. And at the checkout it turns out that the wallet has gone somewhere (and it was 15 minutes ago!). The cashier will call the cashier either a fool or crazy (you don't have to choose an epithet, but both are equally insulting!) And you stomp home, persuading yourself not to sob from resentment in broad daylight in front of passers-by …

At the disco

Here, as in the summer cottage, the morning will not seem good! Clubs and discos, depending on their quality, either are not ventilated, and you have to strain your lungs to inhale the smoke of cigarettes, which are not always of high quality, or, on the contrary, are blown out so that instead of lung cancer (like a passive smoker) in the distant future you can earn money in inflammation of these vital organs in the shortest possible time. And the decibels of either noise or music strains the ears so much that it seems that they are getting bigger and bigger and now they can already be covered like a blanket. In short, such damage is caused to health that it can be restored, provided that you give up rest for a long time …

True, some of the costs are offset by human communication. But is it worth it?..

In general, for me, this is the best way to relax at home. In proud loneliness. And only then can you rest! What do you want!
