Why do you have the idea of taking time off to shame?

"Keeping shame" is a social and cultural phenomenon, and its emergence and development are related to social and cultural values. In some cultural traditions, hard work, persistence and not giving up are regarded as virtues, while leave and rest are regarded as weakness and lack of sense of responsibility. The formation of this cultural concept is related to some historical and cultural factors, such as the concept of "preserving health and saving lives" advocated in China culture, but there are also some unhealthy work cultures and excessive work pressure.

In addition, social competition and utilitarianism are also one of the reasons for the emergence and development of the concept of "the shame of taking time off". In a highly competitive society, in order to obtain better career development and higher social status, people often need to show more work ability and contribution, which makes the rest behavior such as taking time off become a factor affecting personal performance and career development, thus resulting in the concept of "the shame of taking time off".

However, with the development of society and the change of people's values, the concept of "keeping shame" is gradually changing. More and more people realize that proper rest and adjustment are beneficial to personal physical and mental health and work efficiency, and also to the realization of longer-term career planning. Therefore, it is not a shameful thing to take a moderate leave, but a healthy lifestyle and work attitude.
