Dear sir/ms,
I am writing in regard to a recent article in your magazine in which it was written that leisure activities are a waste of both time and money. While it can be argued that too much leisure may be detrimental to society, I strongly believe that it’s important to achieve a balance between work and pleasure. This balance can only be achieved by spending time, but not necessarily money, on a range of leisure activities. Doing this will not only ensure more satisfied and healthier individuals but also ensure that our communities as a whole are stronger.
There are a number of ways in which leisure activities are beneficial. First of all, they can help us develop on a personal level. By participating in any of a wide range of activities offered by local sports clubs, schools, churches and government offices, we can grow in many different areas such as physically, mentally and spiritually. As part of this process of growth, we will be exposed to new ideas from teachers and people outside our families and work colleagues. This interaction with new people will be stimulating, adding more spice to our lives and ultimately making us more satisfied with our lives.
This increase in individuals doing more leisure activities will have a knock-on effect on the wider community. For example, having a population of healthier people will ensure less visits to doctors and hospitals and less time spent off work. The savings from this could be used to fund more worthwhile projects such as support of the elderly and poor and schools development. In addition, local communities would benefit from the extra income being generated by the companies and individuals that are supporting a vibrant and growing leisure industry.
In conclusion, encouraging individuals to engage in leisure activities can only be beneficial for everyone. In creates happier, healthier individuals as well as communities that will prosper financially from the expanding leisure business sector.
Yours faithfully,
Mary Smith
