Now Would Be Fine
"The schedule of our current cultural climate is everything all the time. I'm not sure I like that. I do like being able to choose when I can shop, but my freedom is imposing on somebody else's Sunday."
This is from my friend Marie's blog, over at shakinthetree.blogspot.com
(scroll down to "One Banana Two Bananas Three Bananas Four" to read her excellent reflections.
It’s nice to have the local news every night, including Sundays and holidays. We’re not working, but we expect all those involved in keeping the tv station and its news crew to be. It’s 11:00pm and we need, or think we need, something from the local supermarket; how would we feel if we find it’s closed after, say, 7:30 so the help can enjoy the evening?
I’ve done Christmas Eve and Christmas Day radio. There are no such things as three-day holidays in the broadcast industry. Now that I’ve worked in a restaurant (many years ago), I tip generously on Thanksgiving and Christmas; my convenience imposes on their family time.
What about our parents when we were young? “Honor Your Father and Your Mother” is not a commandment for young children. It is for adults, so they may not forget to honor their parents as the old folks become needy and perhaps a bit dotty. We were the biggest imposition they ever had; we took away most of their freedoms for as many years as there were children under their roof.
Let us remember that when our children seem to be an imposition. If nothing else, it’s just Mother Nature’s way of paying us back for what we were like.
