“Lazy” Days: Are They Really a Thing?

Anticapitalist Preamble

Global society at large often thinks that “lazy” days are very real and very much “unproductive” days when, in reality, these are the days in which we should feel relieved from menial labor. Unfortunately, we live in a capitalist society, which results in the cultural erasure of the communal values that humanity absolutely depends on for collective survival. Our society cannot stop degrading our natural environments, and because of this, “lazy” days must stop being regarded as “unproductive” and start being regarded as “restful.”

“Lazy”

Unfortunately, the term “lazy” has been co-opted by capitalism, which itself is a crisis economic system and has directly factored into numerous mental health crises at a global scale. Without capitalism, there would likely be fewer mental health crises, but even then, there would still be some level of mental health crises of concern.
