Repose, leisure, peace, belong among the elements of happiness. If we
have not escaped from harried rush, from mad pursuit, from unrest, from
the necessity of care, we are not happy. And what of contemplation? Its
very premise is freedom from the fetters of workaday busyness. Moreover,
it itself actualizes this freedom by virtue of being intuition.
