Lots of cultures have traditions of multi-day parties:
- Indians celebrate weddings for a whole week
- Babylonian King Artaxerxes celebrated his monarchy with a 6 month feast
- 6 million beer drinkers flock to Germany for the 17 day Oktoberfest
- Need I mention all of the feasts from the Lord of the Rings?
So, why doesn’t every culture party like that? On one hand, maybe it’s because half of you can’t touch gluten without dying. On the other hand, maybe not enough of you have the expansive leisure or the fierce joy. Let me put it simply: People don’t party because they can’t afford it.
Too many of you submit to stuffy jobs where you’re overworked, underappreciated and underpaid. Your jobs take so much of your time and energy that you don’t have enough left to go to a barbecue let alone celebrate a life.
Don’t be a victim. I want you to get in on the joy that our flexible work schedules and passive incomes permit us to have. Being human means working but it also means partying.
