Why does the essay not concur with the view and ideals of mr selfridge on laziness? ( on doing bothing)?
Answers
Answer:
'On Doing Nothing' is an important essay by J.B.Priestley. In this essay the essayist discusses the importance of taking a break from the humdrum of work and spend time with Nature.
Priestley strongly recommends leisure.
Much like the central idea in the poem ' Leisure' by W. H. Davies , Priestley emphasises on the importance of spending time with Nature .
Doing nothing is sometimes very important to break free from the hackneyed busy routine of work and competition.
The essayist does not concur with the ideals of Mr. Gordon Selfridge who is an extremely money-minded person and feels spending time with Nature, doing nothing is a sign of laziness.
Where Selfridge stresses on working strenuously for higher achievements Priestley asserts on not working so hard but to rather slow down and take time off to relax.
