ED, Do they? Do you? I can't. How often do you carry out your day-to-day chores fully engaged? If we can't even drink a cup of tea in peace, how can we possibly not get caught up in the stresses and tensions of the usual day? True peace of mind isn't found sitting by a babbling brook in a dingly dell, but in the fox-hole when bullets and grenades are going off all around us. 'When hungry, I eat' is something 99% of us don't do.
