„Die ungeheuere Welt, die ich im Kopf habe. Aber wie sie befreien und mich befreien, ohne zu zerreißen. Und tausendmal lieber zerreißen als in mir sie zurückhalten oder begraben. Dazu bin ich ja hier, das ist mir ganz klar.“ - Franz Kafka
Good news: if you’re currently laying around and not producing anything, you are a credit to your species.
It’s recently been found that even hive insects rest. Bees will play with colorful toys. Ants sleep for about 1 minute but they do it so frequently it amounts to a few hours per day. Even trees take breaks.
The only things that work without rest are machines; literally everything that lives requires rest.
EVERYTHING THAT LIVES REQUIRES REST. STOP JUDGING YOURSELF FOR NOT BEING A ROBOT.
And even machines need to rest all the time. Even unfeeling blobs of steel need maintenance, upkeep, and care. They need to be turned of every now and then to cool down.
