Weekends

There was once I was naive enough to reckon that weekends are UNNECESSARY for I thought I do not need to take rest. The more I work, the farther I can go. I love my work and I love my life. To me, life is work and work is life; both are equally enjoyable. I thought I could keep on doing my work and improving myself 24/7 as if I had a long-lasting battery installed in me.

Nah, you see. Human beings are not robot, that's what people say. Even a machine needs maintenance. Even a car needs engine oil service. And even a computer needs you to turn all other programs off and defragment it. Otherwise you might find yourself shouting over its slow response and lousy operating.

Therefore, it is to your surprise that I finally admit that we human beings NEED REST. That's why there are weekends. We take some time to do something that we can't do during weekdays -- we go shopping, having tea with friends, driving around without purpose, catching a movie or two, indulging ourselves in sleeping, doing some sports, reading something that we can't read with a clear mind in other time. To me, going to church to bring myself closer to God is a vital agenda as well.

Regardless of what you choose to do, no doubt weekends are a wonderful gift to us. Thank God there are weekends in our hectic life. And yes, you are right, weekends are definitely, NECESSARY.
