Ahh- but that's just not true, ISh- you have a great appreciation for words and ideas and beauty. We see it all the time in what you write and your appreciation of others' writings. I would guess that they enrich your life immeasurably. I don't think that we all appreciate every form of art. Ballet doesn't move me as opera does, and I don't understand much about art. BUt I know that they are essential to others. Trying to keep your home doesn't erase your need or your ability to value those other things, but I think it can overwhelm the other areas of existence for a time.
Happens to us all at different points. When my children were ill or when I thought I had a brain tumor, I certainly had no emotional energy left for other things. THat's not denying its importance. That's just mustering your resources for the battle.
That's what I meant by regressing though. I see the loss of appreciation for art and literature and the caring professions in a society as steps backward for us. That the schools are forced to kill these programs first in order to stay within budgets is a sad reality.
And that's what I mean, not that food isn't more important on the survival scale, but that we are sliding back when we have to give up those things of the spirit.
