Answer:
Past societies have appeared to relentlessly deprecate everyday life. At least those elites who have written extensively about the good life have always made a distinction between a life lived in pursuit of the higher good, chasing whatever in their view is of ultimate worth, and one with little worth or significance. Everyday life was always listed under the latter category, ubiquitous but insignificant, in contrast to a life of contemplation, an adventurous life of war, conquest or politics, or one in the service of high art or religion in which humans are said to fulfil those transcendent values in which they encounter ‘their essential being’.
It is true, of course, that not all traditions relegate everyday life to insignificance. The life of the householder (Grihastha) in the Brahmanical tradition was worthy, self-fulfilling and endowed with religious, perhaps even philosophical, significance. Jain and Buddhist traders also endowed mercantile life with value as did, arguably, the European bourgeois with a Protestant ethic. However, even these traditions deemed the daily life of the majority of labouring people as possessing little or no intrinsic value.
Features of everyday life
Now, there is a grain of truth in the idea of the apparent insignificance of everyday life. The mere fact that something is repeated everyday makes it dull, mundane and boring. It is too familiar to generate a sense of surprise or excitement. Everyday life is routine, recedes unnoticed into the background of our experience, and appears to be trivial. What excitement can be generated in brushing one’s teeth, or in cleaning, cooking, washing clothes or dishes? What enjoyment can be derived from the drudgery of these chores? Indeed, even activities that give one an initial kick become tedious over time, to be avoided, something from which one needs a holiday.
