Matthew 12:1–12
Technology has taken over. It’s not as if we mind. Moderns have a love affair with technology ... But if we are entranced, we are also enmeshed. The downside of technology is real and painful, and it is the far-reaching tentacles of technology—directly or indirectly—that have caused the majority of our work-life problems ... In the past, there was a closure on the end of every day ... It was called night. There also existed a closure on the end of every week—it was called Sabbath ... Today there are no natural closures ... One rabbi suggests that the Sabbath is a day to stop our work, and it also is a day to stop thinking about our work. In Scriptures, the faithful not only disconnected for a Sabbath every week, but they also came apart ... If we wish a healthy work-life balance, we will need to confront technology’s hold on our lives.
