But it is feasible to spend our limited time pursuing our interests despite our duties. Essentially, I think here in Europe, policies and the way of life are designed so that it is indeed feasible to spend our limited time pursuing interests despite having to comply with our duties and the limited time that we have overall, as well as the financial limitations. First of all, I think there would be no sense of limited time if we did not have to attend to our duties or if we had unlimited time, right? The fact that we can separate free time from work time is the reason why there is, in the first place, limited time. Now, financial limitations are another issue because maybe our interests are very costly. For example, if we enjoy skiing, we might find ourselves in difficult financial conditions. If we live by the beach and need to take a plane to go skiing, the costs can be quite high. I am aware of that. Other interests are much more accessible. For instance, if you want to go to the cinema and it’s available in your town, it only takes a couple of hours, one night a week, to fulfill that interest. So yes, I do think it's definitely feasible. It takes some time management, and there will be times when you'll be able to dedicate to it.

but feasible to spend or less in time-presumer interest duties. So essentially I think here in Europe policies and the way of life is designed so that it is indeed feasible to spend or less time-presumer interest despite of of our having to comply with our duties by the limited time that we have overall and certainly the financial limitations. But first of all, I think there would be no sense of lesser time if we did not have to attend our duties or if we had unlimited time, right? The fact that we can separate from free time and work time is the reason why there is, in the first place, lesser time. Now financial limitations is another issue because maybe our interests are very costly, very expensive. Say that we enjoy to go skiing. Well, we might see ourselves in dear financial conditions. If we live by the beach and we need to get a plane to go skiing and then pay for the ticket, which is quite expensive. I am aware. So other interests are much more accessible. Say that maybe you wanna go to the cinema and you have that in your town and it only takes a couple of hours, one night a week say to fulfill their interest. So yes, I do think it’s definitely feasible. It takes some time management. It’ll be times in which you’ll be able to dedicate.
