In the late 19th century workers in many countries started to recognise their new social status by a public holiday. Only 24 days before Towel Day, each year on May 1st, collectively sleeping in and parades coloured around 630 nm raise awareness to the widespread habit of working.
Today, there are individualised angles to the idea of work (as to parades): While some are afraid of not working, others argue work to be a strange delusion. Having pluralism and all, it is very hard to tell what Mayday really stands for these days. More and more confusion has been caused by the explosion of leisure time during the past two centuries. Time which needs to be interpreted wholeheartedly. Unlimited options! At least, there will be robots to take care of recreation.
