I have been invited to a workshop with Anna Tomczak today and tomorrow. I have much to do before I go. My life is too clogged up. I read a report about a study that shows that the average lifespan of Americans increased considerably during The Great Depression. In trying to understand what factors contributed, the researchers came up with several, but it seems that having more leisure time was one of the biggest. Spending time with family and friends away from the stresses of work. Go figure.
Americans work more than any other 1st or 2nd world cultures. And our collective health is abhorrent. Of course, that could be from staying up to watch celebrities dish about their private lives. I didn't need to see that.
what is this leisure time you speak of? some depression-era ritual?
ReplyDeleteNo, it is the gold standard of Bohemia.
