Some societies assume, for the large part of the population which is in a condition of employee, a separation between "work" and "leisure". This idea was invented with the industrial revolution.[1] From this perspective, work is considered as the main activity and "one's duty", consisting of the labor given to an employer. "Leisure", a label with derogatory connotation attached to everything else outside work,[2][3][4] is instead considered of marginal importance and frivolous.

A famous argument against this dichotomy, is that the separation between what you are ("leisure") and what you do ("work"), generates psychological disorders, alienation and detachment to life.
