Recreation

From one point of view, recreational manners may be more rigid than those used in offices or elsewhere. Since the need for interchange of deals or business may be absent in recreational activities, the simple etiquette that one person has to show to another cannot be omitted. It would be bad manners for one to disturb the feeling of relaxation or recreation by bringing in subjects or topics that would invariably cause some disruption to the smooth enjoyment of leisure by another. Sometimes even talking would appear to be intolerable, and if a person has to keep to the manners of such a situa­tion, he has to learn to respect the feeling for quiet pleasure of another.

Another thing that recreational manners require is that where everyone is relaxing, it is improper to be civil or formal in clothes or behaviour. When the party is on the beach a person wishing to join it should be in a swimming trunk. Similarly, where every person has put on casual wear and is letting himself go to enjoy one another's company, it would be foolish not to be able to catch the mood or to remain apart while still physically present. It would also be wrong to take up the spirit of teaching or imparting lessons while out for relaxation in a group. Debates or discussions, which may kill the spirit of relaxation, even if enjoyed by the persons concerned and may affect the fun of others, should not be encouraged. Sometimes the behaviour necessary for a relaxing attitude is to be able to maintain one's silence. It is said "silence is eloquence". More sense and thoughts may be conveyed to the other party if the parties know how to stop and when and where to stop and hold their tongue.

The art of relaxation or recreation is not so easy to master and a person has to have quite some experience in this field before he can feel with con­fidence that he would be a good sport in a relaxing group or a recreational party. The most important of the qualities which is required is to talk and to keep silent in turns. When the feeling of relaxation goes deep down the systems of the persons who have given themselves up to this pleasure, their actions and inactions may come almost spontaneously from all the persons in the group. After lolling about in the sun for some time and doing or saying nothing to each other, all the members of the group may suddenly come to the decision of playing some game -or doing something to activate their limbs. If all the members of the group have been relaxing seriously all this time, they would all feel the same urge and with the exception of a few, the new activity or sport may be taken up with general enthusiasm.

It may be repeated once again that the art of relaxing is to be learned through experience. If a person has his thoughts too full of something all the time, whether it be money, politics, learning or writing, or some forms of material pleasure, it may be really difficult for him to give himself up com­pletely to the pleasures of relaxing. There are, how­ever, big executives and important personalities who though burdened with grave matters of concern may know how to give rest to their brains and their bodies. One main side of executive training may be to train them as apprentices in this art of relaxation.
