“The best recreation is to do good”

William Penn

William Penn is right about the words he stated. Recreation is something you do to relax yourself and make you feel better. Examples of recreation could be things such as swimming or playing sports. Well what better way to make yourself feel better than by choosing to do good. There is no negative outcomes when you choose to do the right thing. So by choosing to do good as your recreational activity, you will feel better than ever before. If your recreational activity is something bad such as smoking or drugs or something to that effect, than you will feel bad. This all traces back to choosing to do the right and always opting out for the good instead of evil. Penn was a Quaker, an early religion in America, and his religion often stressed the importance of good such as banning slavery and equality for women, so it makes sense that someone like William Penn would come up with this quote. I do agree with what William Penn is saying and i will choose to live by his words. An example of this quote can be seen in everyday circumstances. If a person has some leisure time and let us say they decide to go help out the homeless or something, they are choosing their recreational activity to be good. At the end once they are done helping and with everything else they will begin to feel good about themselves and the work they accomplished that day. So by choosing the right and doing a good recreation it will lead to positives vibes within a person.
