Hello practicalthought, I really like your overview of youth and lack of activity. So true and another post or two at least. And yes, when I was a primary school child I walked a few kilometres each way to school and then I rode my bike later on in high school. Being one of 7 children we were always out playing. I consider myself incredibly lucky that I was brought up to be physically active. It has held me in good stead. Thank you for the information on the Hunza, I will look them up. It reminds me of the Tibetan Monks and their life style. And yes, your are so right, looking at life through the many different lenses is a great way to see different points of view and grow in knowledge and understanding.
Regards
