In previous generations people where always busy. Just working to put bread on the table was a very full time occupation. Yet, they managed to learn more Torah then. Someone once asked the Chasam Sofer, "how much should a Yeshiva Buchur learn durring Bein Hazmanim ?" His answer was, "like a Baal Habus, 7 or 8 hours a day." Today we do not have these standards, a Talmud Chacham learns 7 or 8 hours a day. We do not realize how much this effects us. When a person doesn't fill himself up with Torah and learning, he becomes an Adam Chaser (a person who is lacking). He winds up filling this void with nonsense.
from a Shiur by Rabbi Wachsman
