"Perhaps all of us in wealthier nations in the 21st century struggle with the pace of our societies and with this loss of ends because of too many means. We have so many things to do, we forget why we are doing them; we have so many things, we forget why they matter."
"Unfettered Hope: A Call to Faithful Living in an Affluent Society", Marva J Dawn
Even a two week break from work over Christmas and New Year just evaporates because there are so many things to do!
