Sunset fatigue
Hurried people cannot love. Lewis Grant says we get afflicted by sunset fatigue. We come home from a day's work, those we are most committed to, those who need our love the most end up getting the leftovers. Sunset fatigue when we're just too tired, too preoccupied, too drained to love the people we have made the deepest promises.
Grant says you find yourself rushing even when there is no reason to. There is an underlying tension causing sharp words or sibling quarrels. You indulge in self-destructive escapes from fatigue, abusing alcohol, watching too much TV. You sense a loss of gratitude and wonder, is this sunset fatigue?
