For those of you who are not aware of the fact: there were simpler times in the past. All one needed to do was to go downtown and all of your troubles would go away. Well maybe you had to live in the UK for this to be true, then again, I am not sure about that actually.
What all this leads me to think about is how one can escape the realities of the world - then and now. I am a believer that we do too much of it these days - escaping that is. Not all of us mind you, but more of us than should. That is why we are where we are. With economic inequity, financial crisis, seemingly another war starting every time the previous one ends - it is all still around us. We do seem so less bothered by it all than I remember us being so in the past. How can this be a good thing?
Maybe it is just that simpler times lend themselves to us thinking just a bit more.
