Social Psychologists suggest that the measure of a person is what that person do in their spare time. Their argument is that we shouldn't measure a person by the to's because choised is removed. However, in our spare time we can choose those activities we want to engage in, and the element of choice allows us to gain insight into the person.

****, man, I'm doing this in my spare time- what does that say about me?
I do agree with this thesis, both in its basics and in the extended argument. I think of the great Lord John Whorfin quote, "Character is who you are in the dark." People are only truly themselves when they are acting alone, without social interaction or goals to meet. A truly moral person would be moral even when no one is watching, and a truly cruel person would pick the wings of off flies with or without an audience.

Now your question is a hard read and difficult to undrstand. So I am gleaning as much as I can from it. Which what we do in our spare time represents our value, correct? I think, what we do all the time shows our worth not just our spare time.
