Does The Theory of play support the idea of rest? 

Our human existence, our human lives rides on traditions that are based on ordinances. These ordinances ordinate our lives; they help serve as pointers that guide us through the maze of life. These ordinances can be likened to laws; one’s ignorance does not deny their impact in terms of value, they very much enforce, but your being aware of them and knowledgeable helps in appropriating yourself wisely and receiving its benefits with the framework of its 
hidden yet compelling values.

No, denying it, our being Human goes beyond the limits of our flesh is tangible, but not beyond our spirit, is intangible and very real, and impacts our living. One thing I have come to observe about our spirit, the reality that defines our being, is that she yearns to connect with her source by way of giving, offering that true essence to Him who she knows is higher in being and value, and has come to embrace as the Divine. This acknowledgment has a release, a flow from the Highest endowing her being. 

So I have been processing a thought on the Tithe, an offering, and how I perceive it from my experience as a person of faith, the Christian faith. A careful look into the various cultural nuances, the thread of offering, giving something sacred in a covenant or contractual relations is very apparent; our longing and a strong desire to provide a piece of ourselves, which reveals our commitment and a gesture that points to a reverential fear that we surrender to our source.

The Tithe is one way the above conviction is expressed within the Christian faith and reflects practically on everything. The Tithe is a Hebrew word and the meaning;

The first Tithe (Hebrew: מעשר ראשון, romanized: maʿśēr rîshôn) is a positive commandment in the Torah requiring the giving of one-tenth of agricultural produce to charity, after the giving of the standard terumah, to the Levite (or Kohen). This Tithe is required to be free of both monetary and service compensation.

From the above, the connection is quite clear, Humanity giving to Divinity and having Divinity respond in infinite and limitless ways.
