Because we aren't people, we're meat machines. We don't deserve a living wage and it's expected of us to be working every second we're awake. Do you let your tools rest?
Hmm... Interesting analogy. What about breaking in an engine properly? Would that be considered rest? I have no point with this, I'm just noodling around with the analogy to see how apt it is.
Not sure about engines, but when you "break in" a horse that doesn't seem like much of a "rest" for the horse. More so indoctrination or submissive tactics.
Breaking a horse is breaking it's spirit from what I can tell.
Breaking in an engine you drive it below the suggested RPM limit while the pistons set into their seals, etc.
