We are operating out of a dysfunctional paradigm when we feel that way. When we feel that way we are bound to be confused, manipulative, resentful and generally not nice people to be around. We have been manipulated and tend to be manipulative in return. We need to recognize that as human beings we need to relax, rest and take care of ourselves. The commandment to do so on the sabbath is an indication of the importance of relaxation, rest and taking care of ourselves. Tragically some people have perverted the commandment about resting on the sabbath and turned the day into a special day of conformed and/or frantic religious duties and responsibilities; a day for religious business in contrast to secular business. The commandment did not command us to be religious in a busy way on the sabbath. The commandment calls upon us to rest and relax; to quit our compulsive busy-ness. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
