About sick leaves

Today I am feeling low and sick. I have a sore throat and runny nose. I had thought if I am sick enough to take a sick leave. This question popping up in my mind is even problematic. How many of us , working hard all those years, days and when it comes to rest , we feel guilty. This is a big societal problem. We should take sick leaves and rest and nurture ourselves. We did not come to this life to only for work. We have right to rest , and take our time. Just those opinions passing through my mind. Lying on my sofa with a blanket and watching my Christmas tree and cherishing the life I have 🙂 Happy afternoons!
