What's so private about Fatigue?

You and many men of worth today regard relaxation as a private thing. Is it male chauvenism? Maybe not. Maybe we all expect our world to be a place for active, energetic people and thus it is politically incorrect to say one is tired and he needs to relax.

Some won't even say, "oh, I am tired!" in the presence of their colleagues. This, I think, is a result of the higher definitions of Efficiency and Activiness. The example might sound quite rudimentary and you for one, might not have felt so detached from your colleagues that you didn't even say you were tired. There are degrees, Sir! When you want to sleep during a flight, you make it sure you keep a distance from the passenger next to you, and you'd avoid talking to her/him when you sense you'd yawn.

True, it is none of the business for that "next passenger on the aisle seat" to know you are tired. Only a man who has a texhnical knowledge to help you relax, might be chosen to know your state of body and mind. You should talk freely to your masseur about your fatigue and if you don't mind, think aloud of the possible reasons of the fatigue, while the masseur listens to you.

These are only some observations, and you may have your views, experiences to share.
Nice if you write a comment.
