"After all, the best part of a holiday is perhaps not so much to be resting yourself, as to see all the other fellows busy working"

About this Quote

This quote by Kenneth Grahame talks to the concept that the very best part of a holiday is not necessarily the rest and relaxation that comes with it, however rather the joy of seeing others hectic working. This suggests that Grahame discovered pleasure in the concept of taking a break from his own work and observing the stress of others. He may have discovered it entertaining to see others in their everyday regimens, or perhaps he found comfort in the concept that while he was taking a break, others were still difficult at work. This quote likewise talks to the idea that taking a break from work can be beneficial, as it can offer a sense of point of view and gratitude for the work that others are doing. It can likewise be a tip that while we might be taking a break, the world is still spinning and life is still going on.
