Life offers“so many pleasures,so many choices”.
The fact that women now work outside the home has contributed to the“no time”trend.But more important,Visser says,is the fact that feeling rushed has become an important part of our economy.Marketing of“time-saving”products causes people to buy moce and work longer.So we eat out or buy prepared food to save time.The fax-it-to-car technology only contributes to the constant hurry.In our rushed and tired state,even the obligation to sit down to a casual meal with family seems like a pressure.In comparison with the decision to act on a sudden whim(一时的兴致)to consume a microwave mug of soup, the act of eating together and not getting up from the table until everyone else has finished seems an unbelievably time-consuming event.Being in one's own personal hurry in the West is somehow“free and preferable”.
