The Enjoyment of Living - On Sitting in Chairs



Ancient people sat in order to look dignified, while modern people sit in order to be comfortable.

Western ladies did not take frequent baths because they were afraid to see their own naked bodies, and this moral concept delayed the rise of the modern white enameled bath tub for centuries.

Lower a chair is, the more comfortable it becomes.

All human life goes in cycles of work and play, of tension and relaxation.  The male brain energy and capacity for work goes in monthly cycles just like women’s bodies.  When the chains of a bicycle are kept too tight they are not conducive to the easiest running and so with the human mind.  Everything, after all, is a matter of habit.  There is an infinite capacity in the human body for adjustments.
