Sufficiency can return to a particular task. A pause considers obligations and available time but needs no proof of flawless character; enjoyment need not demonstrate future utility.
Questions explored
Can a promise be forgotten for rest?
No. The particular obligation is examined and coordinated where necessary.
Must every free hour produce utility?
The article proposes examining that rule; enjoyment need not justify itself only through future productivity.
Will guilt vanish immediately?
No such outcome is promised. Examine whether the feeling contains new information.
Must rest be beautiful?
No. An activity's suitability and prestige differ.
