leisure Wisdom [1]

"... to the mother because we only care about money,
the power, click on "competitiveness" and excessive consumption. "
Javier Sicilia
Leisure is one of the greatest pleasures, and, however paradoxical it may seem- producer of wisdom. Let's stop here, as I mentioned a word, at once majestic and simple, as is "wisdom," and clarify a point : no any school, nor the most prestigious local, national or international that to which everyone wants to apply and be counted among their ranks, with thousands of advisory boards, resources, facilities, history and great halls, that manages to convey wisdom in itself. How so? Just because wisdom is of another order of life experiences and no effect on number of "controlled" environments-style experiments and models of competence, assessed, measured and quantified as industrial processes. At most what schools-kindergarten through college-is knowledge will provide literature and operational style "How to do it", but experiences that have the effect of know-how, hence a second beginning, we might say - of training and in the workplace. That does not mean they are completely negligible classes and schools that grant credentials. Most of the world moves by such logic. However, perhaps the entertainment is also a school, but life (from gr. Skol: leisure time) contingency. After all it is no coincidence that "leisure" keep an etymological connection with the Latin root word "school" Schola.
What leisure has to do with wisdom? It seems paradoxical to relate them, on the contrary to the vision of production as the development of success!, which seeks to accumulate human capital at a time and money. Interesting that you call the common denominator, "capital", two very different things, just the vision of the company and state (biopower) as the Nazis and organized crime, is to reduce the single human figure (%,$, etc.) Leisure is not just the mother of all vices, such as believe, but the context of the occurrences that give rise to creative arts, home to what really matters: the nothingness from which everything arises. For example, we need both, lack. are the ones that function in part as the memory of mankind and questions about what we've become the direction we take. And what about the millions of inventions that arise from the contemplation of the wise inventor.
Leisure also keeps a relationship with the slow, being in the body in the present moment, without urgency or plans full of things to do. We could say that two events that do take full news room: the birth and death. All others can be away, to pretend that we are not, for they do not. That is perhaps what most enjoyable vacation: leave the pre-occupation for the occupation of relaxation and leisure: the pleasure of doing nothing, living the moment. Until, of course, Express rides appear nourished offering sightseeing, walking, story, photo, souvenir, it is impossible not to think that even the relaxation and fun, should be managed, overloaded. Hence, it is not strange need a vacation from the vacation, once you return. Then bet there was also "enjoy the most"
While the technical advances have shortened distances and times, speeding and eficientizandando resources (market values) the body has been saturated with activities, Drop , feel, is a step to rest.
