When I read articles like this I find myself thinking that I’d have a pretty tough time adjusting to life 100 or 1000 years ago but, by the same token, if you took the average person from those ages and gave them a modern job in a modern city, they’d have a nervous breakdown within a few days.

Mankind, in ages past, was able to obtain a great deal of strength from the slower pace of their existence.

Many would be glad to slow down their pace of life during Advent. Worth trying? That’s your decision.

slower pace my backside. That is a myth. They big difference between now and then is people slept when it got dark and woke up when it got light...in general. Today we go to sleep 3-4 hours AFTER sundown.
