Is rest even real? (lemmygrad.ml)

As my two week Christmas holiday comes to - a close I find myself thinking (as I always do after a longer break) back to the real world. Back to wage slavery and a chronic lack of time, not only for leisure but simple labour reproduction and household labour. A part of me is still so conditoned that I can't help but think of breaks from work as fantastical and dream like; a cruel taste of how wonderful life can be when one isn't beholden to a capitalist master. When one has time and space to breathe and be and enjoy the cosmic miracle that life even exists.

The rest is real in the sense that it allows you to pull your head above the water for a moment to see, you are in fact drowning.

The clarity on return is someone dunking your head back under water and saying 'well, back to work!'
