Work is toil: what one does only to earn a living. If it gives pleasure, it is leisure.

Friendship is a very taxing and arduous form of leisure activity

Friendship is a very taxing and arduous form of leisure activity.

Leisure is not synonymous with time. Nor is it a noun. Leisure is a verb. I leisure. You leisure.

If one wants another only for some self-satisfaction, usually in the form of sensual pleasure, that wrong desire takes the form of lust rather than love.

Work is so foundational to our makeup that it is one of the few things we can take in significant doses without harm. Indeed, the Bible does not say we should work one day and rest six or that work and rest should be balanced evenly but directs us to the opposite ratio. Leisure and pleasure are great goods, but we can take only so much of them.
