This allowed them to concentrate exclusively on the spiritual or intellectual life of the mind.

Is that the all important lesson to be learned, that less is better?

What would they think of the way most people celebrate holidays today, like Thanksgiving and Christmas?

What can we do to become more aligned with their lifestyle?
In your opinion, why would we want to be more aligned with their life styles? They probably celebrated occasions in their lives.

It is better than what we have now?
