I...I think you're right - and what is it, exactly? I'd be hard pressed to put my finger on it, either. I recently read a very fascinating (to me) article about how retro kitchens are all the rage, everyone is buying "the best" updated kitchen equipment but they want it to look like their moms. <BR/><BR/>And they don't use it.<BR/><BR/>Why do we do that as a culture? Obviously, we're feeling like we've left something behind. We're noticing the fact that we are disconnected, tired, and unwell. Too many fluorescent lights flickering everywhere we go. But it's the path of least resistance.<BR/><BR/>I'm not against technology (obviously), nor science, nor progress. But it seems we've labored under the delusion that if we can, we should, and that more is better. MAYBE, hopefully, people are realizing there is a pricetag - you can't have it all and have it all be perfect.<BR/><BR/>So then the question is - what are you willing to pay? Some things are worth the pricetag, some aren't, and each family has different tolerance levels and different needs and wishes. I just wish people would THINK again - consider what they really want and then deliberately go do something about it. <BR/><BR/>Maybe they are. <BR/>Great post - and thanks for the link!<BR/><BR/>JenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
