True. :nod:Some of us wouldn't have survived as long as we have if we were "fragile."
There are so many days I find myself lucky to be raised by Grandpa, the way he was raised by his Dad.
"Your hands ARE the tools" was his motto.
There are two types of people where I live:Society has grown and prospered for thousands of years without the "the buzz" of modernity. Suddenly people cannot live without checking their cellphones constantly. Watch the news, this generation hasn't eradicated illness nor treats women with anything I'd call respect.
Which sentiment is the insane one?
1. City dwellers. Totally dependent on modern technology, obsessing over their material goods, always saying "hurry, hurry, there's so little time!". They do tend to fall ill often, most of them became allergic to Nature, confusing "plastic" for "beautiful" (failing to remember basic genetics: you MAY look pretty, your kids.. will not) and ([size=-2]for some unknown reason[/size]) madly craving the "organic" food the other type is making.
2. Country-bumpkins (myself included). Minority, indeed. Known mostly for being mocked about our way of life ("the old way" as it's called). Living in a slow pace, actually making our own food.. and aware that the upper type envies us. :thumb:
Both types have their views on this matter.
Type 1 calls us technologically handicapped, lost-in-time, a "fail to progress".
Type 2 fears what Type 1 is turning into - life like androids.
