TSA writes: The pastoral lifestyle is a deeply romantic one. You wake up, sleepy-eyed, at the crack of dawn diligently, an entire afternoon of simple but menial tasks ahead of you. You reap the fruits of your labour from golden fields, sell your crops at the always-bustling market, and fish at a nearby pond. You bring home a portion of your harvest and fix dinner from these wild ingredients. Its a well-lived and fulfilling experience, a gentle communion with nature that lets you earn your bread by the sweat of your brow and an unattainable promise of a simpler, rustic life.
