I'm not able, not interested, in doing nothing, but I'm interested in ways that help me look at the world differently, and in the case of the blog 's intent, i feel my approach has validity, albeit in a different way.

Edit: I guess I just don't understand this approach. GP is clearly in a different life situation (has a family) than the person who wrote the article. As this sort of task clearly isn't doable for everyone, why not discuss ways you can still achieve, or try to achieve, the same or similar goals based on your own situation? Does HN not foster constructive conversation, even if it's tangential to the original point?

Traditionally three Sabbath meals are in fact required, though you can't do the labor to prepare them or use energy to heat them.

It is odd that the OP and every comment thus far on HN skip over that aspect. As OP describes it this is also a fast.
