Now it is time to go to bed so you can start the whole process over at 6:30 again the next morning.

People are tired.

Whew! I hear ya here!!!! It is like a never ending cycle!!!

Right, so why not use it to reach them instead of us complaining about it?

THIS WAS NOT DIRECTED TOWARDS D4T!

What has changed?

I ask that not to provoke you but to somehow find an answer.
No provocation taken...

I see it like this... I wasn't there so I can't be sure...

But...

FACT... the old timers did hard work. No doubting that.

But...
life wasn't so fast paced back then.
They went to bed when the sun went down
They REALLY rested.
They didn't have 2-1/2 hour round trip commutes (I have actually driven that for years before)

A lot of things are different.

The things that we do in our society take from our mind.
They take from our very being.
They drain us.

Hard work makes you tired but it invigorates the body too. Good hard work with sweat rolling down our face is what we were created to do.

Working our minds the majority of each day like we do just drains us to a fizzle.

Also... no self respecting old timer would EVER allow his life to be a "running ragged from daylight to dark" scenario.

The old timers were smart enough to know that life is about living. So much that they had enough to spare to make it to church.

Not only that many, worked farms, and was able to do their praying on the tractor or walking the mule.

And housewives the same.

Not the same today.

D4T is on target here.
