We live in a country that has promoted super sized value meals, daily drink specials/happy hours, business casual work attire, Crocs... are we so relaxed as a culture that we opt for shoes that we don't have to bend over and tie to wear? And when did "relaxed" carry over from our personal time to "on the job?" Isn't relaxing supposed to be the reward for a hard days work?
Most of us have accepted these unhealthy concepts into our lives without a second thought.
Our children are left under the supervision of TV's, computers, video games... all driven by the concept of "user friendly". How do we learn to nurture imagination when everything is set up to function so efficiently that there is little or no thought involved?
It strikes me as odd that as a whole we are comfortable with just being acceptable. Is acceptable good enough? Is it ok to be just acceptable at our jobs, at our parenting, at our relationships?
