I like having a 30-day break from work near Christmas. I almost begin to feel the nice effects of not being a slave, such as brighter thoughts and enthusiasm.

It's alright to take the occasional mental break from the constant negative and critical mentality that comes from being "woke". The only way we'll be able to wake people up is if we're healthy and alive enough to do so.

So do take a break whenever you can, revel in the connections and conversations that make us human, since ultimately relating to people is how we'll achieve our goals. Have a Merry Christmas :)

I used quotes because I meant "woke" as a more succinct way of saying "aware of the ills of capitalism".

You don't need to like or participate in the commercial aspect. My point was just that we should occasionally take a break from focusing on negatives, and find ways to revel in something more positive. If you're just constantly being negative or further stressing/depressing yourself (reading upsetting news, criticism, etc.), you will have a tough time finding people who want to be around and listen to what you have to say.

That's just something I have personally come to terms with after losing touch with good people I could have influenced more had I taken better care of my mental health and relationships.
