    My answer for this is simple, freedom. Firstly, freedom to rest. As a mental health clinician, I have found that optimal health is indicated by the ability to engage in 5 things; work, love, play, rest, and worship. Dignified work is a noble thing, but it isn't everything. I would argue that we aren't fully alive unless we are able to engage with all 5 of these activities to some degree on a reasonably regular basis. When people have time that truly belongs to them they are able to exercise freedom to pursue greater things and make their world better.
