LABOR IS A RESOURCE and TIME IS A RESOURCE metaphors

"LABOR IS A RESOURCE and TIME IS A RESOURCE Both of these metaphors are culturally grounded in our experience with material resources." (#60 1184)
"Material resources are typically raw materials or sources of fuel." (#60 1185)
"A material resource is a kind of substance can be quantified fairly precisely can be assigned a value per unit quantity serves a purposeful end is used up progressively as it serves its purpose" (#60 1190)
"LABOR is a kind of activity (recall: AN ACTIVITY IS A SUBSTANCE) can be quantified fairly precisely (in terms of time) can be assigned a value per unit serves a purposeful end is used up progressively as it serves it purpose" (#60 1200)
"TIME is a kind of (abstract) substance can be quantified fairly precisely can be assigned a value per unit serves a purposeful end is used up progressively as it serves its purpose" (#60 1207)
"These two SUBSTANCE metaphors permit labor and time to be quantified—that is, measured, conceived of as being progressively "used up," and assigned monetary values; they also allow us to view time and labor as things that can be "used" for various ends." (#60 1216)
"The quantification of labor in terms of time, together with the view of time as serving a purposeful end, induces a notion of LEISURE TIME, which is parallel to the concept LABOR TIME. In a society like ours, where inactivity is not considered a purposeful end, a whole industry devoted to leisure activity has evolved. As a result, LEISURE TIME becomes a RESOURCE too—to be spent productively, used wisely, saved up, budgeted, wasted, lost, etc. What is hidden by the RESOURCE metaphors for labor and time is the way our concepts of LABOR and TIME affect our concept of LEISURE, turning it into something remarkably like LABOR" (#60 1227)
