I'm extremely lucky. My wife and I live in the countryside of Eastern Kentucky and no longer do we have to put up with commutes and all the hurley-burley of everyone trying to arrive at their various destinations on time.
I've lived in the United States for very nearly thirty years now, and since I always worked from home, commuting never bothered me. But of course so many people do have to commute.
It takes my son one hour to arrive at his place of business and one hour to find his way home. And I'm sure that so many people have to go through commutes that make his look like a gentle walk in the park.
You'd think that with all these cell phones, many of which are highly complex, jobs which once took days to complete, could be accomplished in an hour or two. The remainder of the time could be spent relaxing, playing golf, tennis or squash or whatever you choose. Perhaps read, write, contemplate the magnitude of the universe. This answers the question nicely; ""
But no. In this brave new world, the cell phone is king. It rules our lives. Personally, I've never learned to use one. My son and grandchildren are, of course, masters of the thing. All through a maze of "Apps" it appears. Now I believe this stands for "Applications." Enough said about this, because I'll find myself way over my head in no time.
But life shouldn't be lived in this way. I'm all for these modern conveniences, but they ought to be used to make us happier, more carefree. Give us more time to study and enjoy the arts. Instead, we make these computers, cell phones and goodness knows what else, rods for our own backs. We always have to chase the almighty dollar,(or pound, or yen, or whatever your currency may be). Enough is never enough.
Provided you have a nice house to live in, a decent car to drive and enough money for food, what more is there? Oh, you need enough to service the inevitable repairs to your house and car, but provided you can earn enough to live in this manner, isn't that enough?
I used to think that if only I could earn vast sums of money, then I could consider myself a raging success.
How about your health? Arguably, the greatest robber of health is stress. Now, half the people you see out these days have something sticking into or out of their ear. If this was during normal working hours, then at least there'd be a reason for it.
It's when they've finished their normal 8 to 10 hours of work and they decide to go for a jog, an excellent way to unwind, by the way. But so many of them still have these things in their ears, and they're talking business even while they're undertaking a healthy bit of exercise. And that, to a large extent, answers the question; Does this question really have to be asked?
When you read the newspaper these days, it's quite alarming to read of the number of deaths of people, men especially, between the ages of 35 to 55. And why, in the main? Stress. Finish your days work at a sensible time, go for a jog or a nice walk.
But for goodness sake, leave that wretched cell phone at home.
