T.R. noted that the strenuous life was the healthy one. But he said that in a time when the true darkness of night could be seen and true silence heard. Where can we now find respite from the modern strenuous day, a day filled with unrelenting barks and rages by digital dogs?
Maybe by finding the true darkness and implementing true silence once again despite the "digital dogs". The difference between now and TRs time is that we have a choice in the matter - by virtue of being voluntary, we may have the chance to be more strenuous, more disciplined, more useful than those who came before us. For my part, that is what I believe and hope
This puts into words what I have felt for a very long time. It's why I get a deep feeling of contentment by backpacking challenging myself in the wilderness!
I couldn't agree more. Maybe in a few thousand years we will evolve a hardship immune system, but in the meantime, time spent in the wild is my salvation as well.

Amen. Let us then, with God's grace, do our duty.
