It is very normal to think that a society lacking productivity and economic development is very prone to live in marginality, however when society only focuses on productivity, its members can go through a depression that derives from a society increasingly interconnected and guided by the demands of the day to day.
It is under this environment, that anyone who is doing nothing can feel unproductive, and it is not that it really is, but the feeling of guilt for feeling unproductive is the fault of what this society already lives and breathes that is more than a consumerist culture that forces to generate guilt in a society whose inhabitants feel guilty if they are doing nothing.
It is not that unproductiveness is a good companion, but that we also need a break to help us reflect and move towards better ways.
