“They” disregarded the value and habit of rest.  For instance, Stanford University and members of the alumni and their families stressed the importance of achievement and accomplishment at the cost of rest.  Mantras, drugs and television were supplanted as instruments of rest, but they were not, in and of themselves rest.

The rest of sitting under a tree in the wood or at a picnic table with friends and relatives in Griffith Park.  The rest of sitting, standing and kneeling in a pew at the neighborhood church.  “Come unto me and I will give you rest.” “Keep holy the Sabbath.”

In short, teachers and curriculum and accreditation designers are robbing us of our rest if they find rest is a right for us to enjoy and is not harmful to the general population.
