Twentieth-first century society seems to be advancing and changing on a daily basis. The expectation and needs of culture often clash with technology, the latter constantly improves. Distractions from technology, demanding jobs and other pressures leave people with progressively less time to restore harmony in their lives and accommodate leisure time in today’s world. The views of Rosemary Ruether and Josef Pieper explain how people can achieve a harmonious life and implement leisure in today’s society.
