The fact is that modern life has deprived us of life's one great luxury: time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The real luxury travel of the modern age is not through space; it's through time.
Life is made too easy. Mankind's moral fibre is giving way under the softening influence of luxury.
The secret to modern life is finding the measure in time management. I have two kids, career and I travel, and I don't think my life is any different than most couples. The most valuable commodity now for many people is time and how to parcel that out.
I think the older I get, the more I realize that the ultimate luxury is time.
During the 80s and 90s, we all became consumed with ourselves. In the 21st century, we've come back to simpler times. People are struggling economically and this has forced them to scale back the material aspects of their lives and realise the beauty of finding the simple joy in being with the people we love.
Life is short and the older you get, the more you feel it. Indeed, the shorter it is. People lose their capacity to walk, run, travel, think, and experience life. I realise how important it is to use the time I have.
It's often difficult to slough off all that we've acquired, all the comforts and safety nets modern life provides for us, and realize that in those days, people were living very much on the edge - life was incredibly hard!
The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury.
We don't have the luxury of time. We spend more because of how we live, but it's important to be with our family and friends.
The supposed great misery of our century is the lack of time.
