I don't know.... The apartment won't clean itself and the food won't cook autonomously ;)

meditation can help one to realize the various other unnecessary things we do on a daily basis.

…like cleaning one’s home and eating food?

Without context, your statement is true; as a response, it seems a bit of a stretch.

i recognize this qualifier was buried, but if you look closely, you'll see i wrote "other" things.

> meditation can help one to realize the various other unnecessary things we do on a daily basis.

surely, cooking and cleaning aren't the only ways the parent spends their time. for instance, they're writing comments on HN!

Is that then a sense of meditation? It seems to fit. It's a relaxing, distraction, with the benefit of often being educational, at the same time. Relieving stress, allowing return to other things which need attention.

sure, why not

Could always hire a cleaner and order delivery. Doesn't seem like that much of a stretch to me.

All of those things cost money. You are kind of making my original point that it's a privilege.

Don't really need "Seinfeld money" to do it though. I'm agreeing with the top sub-comment to yours. If you don't have time for 1 hour, should really find a way to do 2.
