“Amusements excite the mind, but depression is sure to follow. Useful labor and physical exercise will have a more healthful influence upon the mind and will strengthen the muscles, improve the circulation, and will prove a powerful agent in the recovery of health.” (ML 150.)
This statement tells us that going to an amusement park, is less beneficial than doing useful labor. Money is spent to spend time in a gym when the same time behind a lawn mower, vacuum cleaning or string trimmer would be better. So why not make sure that you spend time this week in useful labor, for a healthier mind, healthier muscles and better circulation.
