Should We Be Assholes Like The French Too?
I don't think French people are "assholes." In fact, after reading this article my Aunt found online and sent to me; I want to emulate the French.
The article, written by Michael Lewis (one of the authors both my husband and I have enjoyed reading) back in 2000, analyzes the differences between how Americans interact with everyday life (you know, "rush-rush here, rush-rush there") and compares it to how the French live life. The French seem to take their time with everything they do. I interpret that as, "They take time to enjoy all of life." From the "lunching" for two to three hours each day, to the 35-hour work week, to the leisurely strolls taken everyday... The typical (from what we understand) French life sounds ideal.
Hmm...
