Resting means empathizing with each other’s pain and suffering and cooperating to alleviate them together. The core of social relationships such as friendship, love, solidarity, and hospitality lies in this ’empathy’ and the mutual exchange of emotions, understanding that others’ pain and joy are also my own. Thus, rest involves creating a will to live together and enjoying life together in conviviality.

Yes, indeed.

Resting alone is good. But resting together is even better. To empathize and be empathized with is a great comfort. Only in that comfort can we truly rest. Having someone like family, friends, or a partner to share this with is a great blessing. Resting with such people can relieve extreme fatigue and bring about conviviality. It’s about living and letting others live as well.
