17. Read the following passage and make a precis by providing a suitable
title :
Most of us have little trouble 'losing ourselves in action'. But the hours
after work, they are the dangerous ones. Just when we were free to enjoy
our own leisure, and ought to be happiest - that's when the blue devils of
worry attack us. That's when we begin to wonder whether we're getting on
in our life, whether we are in a rut, whether the boss meant anything' by
that remark he/she made today; or whether we are getting bald. (When we
are not busy, our minds tend to become a mere vacuum) Every student of
Physics knows that 'nature abhors vacuum'. Nature rushes to fill the vacant
mind with emotions of worry, fear, hate, jealousy. Such emotions are so
violent that they drive out of our minds all peaceful, happy thoughts and
emotions.
