"What happened to Sunday lunch?" is a nostalgic look at change and its implications for many of us. So please feel free to share your thoughts and insights with me as I attempt to answer this "tongue in cheek" twentieth century question with an iota of twenty-first century insight and hopefully a jot or tittle of humor.
Maybe this is what Alexis de Tocqueville alluded to when he wrote: "When the past no longer illuminates the future, the spirit walks in darkness." We just seem to be so busy and have so many distractions nowadays that we do not have any capacity left for sharing quality time with the family over a good old fashioned Sunday lunch.
The great Marcus Aurelius did warn us many, many moons ago to: "Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the Universe love nothing so much as to change. The Universe is change." I can accept that the nature of the universe loves nothing so much as to change, but let change be the means by which we create a better tomorrow and not the end in itself.
