Serious question? The principle is called "opportunity cost". Chilling out and touching grass is free - but you could also have spent that time working, producing stuff, learning or whatever. You have "lost out" on a potential benefit due to exactly how that time was spent.

Because you could use your time to work and make money. Labor is kind of selling your time to other entities and doing their stuff. And even an enterpreneur can use time to grow their business. Or capital alone regularly grows with interest or by investing it.
