It's sad that so much of the chaos of our lives is created not by the basic demands of our primary responsibilities but our refusal to stand against the cultural dictates that demand that every moment of our lives be filled with activity.  The damage done when our self-created stress explodes in impatient and a frenzied attitude could never be justified by any benefits that we or others might receive from "Crafting 101" or "Bowling for Jesus."
