Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not to die, so do other creatures.

Allan Bloom

As Western nations became more prosperous, leisure, which had been put off for several centuries in favor of the pursuit of property, the means to leisure, finally began to be of primary concern. But, in the meantime, any notion of the serious life of leisure, as well as men's taste and capacity to live it, had disappeared.
