The only time I really studied was when I had a test or an exam to give. Now, well, now all I see kids doing is studying. I remember my father coming home at 5pm every day. He hardly ever worked on weekends - in fact none of the neighbors fathers did either. We always had time to play with him, go to the shore, build planes, wash and wax the car, do math.
Life seems too full for everyone to do anything simple anymore.
If we want to go for a vacation - it has to be some place exotic. And money is saved to go to the place 2 years later. Time does not wait. Time spent unwisely. I want to sit here and tell you that life is simple.
