I hate that in our modern world, we are obsessed with being "productive".

I hate that in our modern world, we are obsessed with being "productive". Why is this important? Why do we punish ourselves for being "unproductive"? Maybe we should try and spend as much of our time in things that are unproductive or unquantifiable as possible. Is having a relaxing afternoon the beach "productive"? We've lost our ability to just "be". We must always "do". A sad state of affairs.
