The phrase “A person has not had a personal life” usually means that he does not have a family. If the latter is, then they will say about him: "Everything is in order with his personal life." It turns out that the vast majority equates personal life with family life. Does everyone agree?
Women who raise children alone and carry the load of family everyday problems, probably, will agree with such an “equation”. Men who are almost never at home, fulfilling their function as a breadwinner and providing exemplary support for their families, are likely to assert their right. They will say that from time to time they need a personal life that is not related to the daily routine of business activities and family responsibilities. And what content they put into this concept: whether they start a relationship with another woman or climb mountains, dive to the bottom of reservoirs or fly on hang gliders - this is a matter of their conscience and personal preferences.

In the history of the development of society, there was a period when a person's personal life consisted only of actions to ensure the physical survival of both an individual and the whole society. He had to get food for himself and others, he himself had to build a roof over his head. There was not even a concept of personal life. Later, but before the development of technology, a person began to be perceived as a representative of a certain profession, there was no talk of a hobby or any other activity either.
Today, the individual strives to ensure that his professional activity is strikingly different from his personal life, from leisure. Now everyone wants the transition from working to non-working to look as sharp as possible. A rare person voluntarily takes work home. Exit from the doors of the office, workshop or managementimplies a transition to a different way of thinking and to a different kind of activity. Often this is a sport, but there may be other options.
But what about the personal life of knowledge workers, scientists, whose mental activity involves a round-the-clock activity mode? What is the general role of knowledge in human life?
First of all, people armed with them are better able to adapt in society. They are more competitive, so they can get better jobs. These people also rarely have problems with their personal lives, because they know what literature to read or from whom they can get professional advice.
