The essay aims at proposing a balance between the elements that can realize the human being in itself and in a good relationship within the social living. In a frame like that, work has to be connected with action and contemplation. Working means to have a world disposable for us; acting means to improve our being; contemplating means to recognize a being beyond our power of production. Contemplating and acting can also give value to a kind of work no reducible to an instrumental function. The leisure time and the festive activity time, if not confined within the compulsion to consume in a submission to a more and more quantitative productivism, could be a full time in living essential meanings and acts of our existence. At stake is the complete fulfilment both of the human and society.
