Well after spending hours in the kitchen cooking (menu:homemade pumpkin (homegrown) soup, beef casserole, & a lemon (homegrown) pudding) I stood there in amazement & horror at the stack of dirty dishes/pots/pans it took just to prepare a decent nights feed.![]()
With no dishwasher, I rolled up my sleeves and commenced with the washing of the dishes and getting the kitchen back to it original clean state..(considering the amount of dishes..this also also took forever)....
My point with this example is am I a fool to go to all this trouble for a meal in these modern times of frozen & tinned, instant food, dishwashers etc. I tend to shy away from modern appliances, gadgets, etc...everything in my opinion that just makes the modern civilization lazy & complacent. When the Summer comes I don't sit in a air conditioned house (I go for a swim), nor when the cold comes I do not have a damn heater (I wear a wool coat). I don't have a mobile phone, a TV in every room of the house, I spend alot of time planting & nurturing my trees & herbs (while others around me do nothing for the environment with their tree-less barren backyards :angry),...
I could go on but I don't want to rant. I only got a computer about 6 months ago, only for a necessity to record my music with, & even this disgusts me. (I hate computers & the internet..but here I am bloody using it)..the modern evils are starting to seduce me into a person I so criticise.
We need to keep the old traditions alive & not be too reliant on these modern wonders that (appears) to make our lives seem easier & more fulfilling. It is lie.... and damaging to our true spirit. The modern world with all it shiny new toys is breeding a race of weaklings & loss of character.......Enough said. This Post is long enough. :fknight:
