Holidays

The commercialization of holidays in the U.S. has corrupted the use of these assigned days for contemplation and healthy communication between intimates. Relentless indoctrination in all forms of media shifts the focus from being to buying.

 

The holiday concept is itself representative of the stress of modern life. Whether a person seeks to escape through travel or through shopping, the idea is still escape from everyday life. If your everyday life requires escape, you are in trouble.

 

Practice is a way to maintain appreciation and joy in everyday life. Practice requires no holidays. It enhances holidays as well as everydays. Humanist practice approaches each day as a special day for creating general well being and joy in person and environment through promoting health, generosity amd nonviolence.
