Does easier necessarily make things simpler? Good question. Easier is usually only faster, not simpler. I remember watching a commercial for some pasta cooking appliance and thinking, really how hard is it to cook pasta on the stove?

I don’t think it would be a bad thing to give up some conveniences and do things the old-fashioned way. I think it would give us more time for reflection. We seem hell-bent on doing eveything faster, so we can do more, more, more.

Sometimes I think it’s dangerous how disconnected we’ve become from the natural world. It’s almost as though we’re robotizing ourselves.

Sorry, I think I went off on a tangent.
