Weddings, tea parties, garden clubs were much more integral in their lives. They also didn't get around as quickly. So they weren't rushing their kids between soccer practice and piano lessons. To a certain extent life was simpler then. <br /><br />You waited for the opera and carnival to come to town. That was your entertainment. Simple pleasures were more simple.msmariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486729990673366769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387667238687975467.post-43744701528376755932012-04-04T05:12:02.650+01:002012-04-04T05:12:02.650+01:00Interesting questions.

Me personally, I've always liked how poetry seems to have the power of timelessness, kinda takes me out of the hustle and bustle of every day life.Aguilar Elliothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06200558918676043343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387667238687975467.post-90370886005433320022012-03-31T13:32:52.824+01:002012-03-31T13:32:52.824+01:00Golden Eagle: I agree, it does depend on the indiv...Golden Eagle: I agree, it does depend on the individual, as you say some people people rush, others linger. Technology has just made so much more available to us, though there is a danger that it is only available to those with access to that technology. But that is probably another post.Paul Tobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14732771806819029077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387667238687975467.post-24912466225674732842012-03-30T23:05:48.687+01:002012-03-30T23:05:48.687+01:00Thought-provoking questions.

I think that the effect instant access has depends on the individual, to an extent--some people are more inclined to rush through things and others prefer to take things in at a slower pace. Though I do think technology has sped up how much we experience overall.Golden Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721520451194318436noreply@blogger.com
