Once again, sheer brilliance. Not

Once again, sheer brilliance.

Not all of you are lucky enough to know Zach Zulauf. As such, you may or may not read his blog. This, of course, is immaterial. However, it is for your benefit - you who probably don’t read his blog - that I’m re-posting a bit of it here.

I think it’s an American fallacy that there are many ways to unwind—there aren’t. There are many ways to reprieve, to delay, to ignore, but to unwind, to actually make progress in alleviating the stress and confusion and and mire that we cary with us, there is no substitute for space and time in an environment that doesn’t constantly make us think of our own lives. It’s amazingly simple like that. And so hard to do. 2 days a week and 10 days a year is the bare minimum of free time needed to avoid complete insanity. And life is just too short for that.
