Amazing What We Think We Need

[Stuckon22]

Kind of reflecting on the state of us Westerners today. We thought we needed all of our wants....entertainment, sports nonstop, pleasure, comfort and ease, pampered appointments, videos.....etc. Needs in reality are health, family, food, security, companionship, and empathy enough to be servants rather than the served. Maybe when this is over a lot of us will realize what we can REALLY do without......and what we cannot do without. Get to know your family, do something that doesn't involve a video game, build a campfire, cook something special, call that elderly friend who lives alone, look at your spouse with no distractions, teach your dog a new trick, finish with excellence all the projects and honey-dos you have put off for so long, sleep hard, pray for each other and our leaders. Availability is the greatest ability in the world. Stay safe ODT Brothers.

It's not just westerners...it's every monkey on this lil insignificant planet.

I've been practicing social distancing for years already. Don't do concerts, sports events, Mardi Gras or any other gatherings like it, no 4th of July celebrations, no Birthday parties (unless I absolutely have to), no vacations in populated areas, no Christmas/Thanksgiving get togethers (unless I absolutely have to). The only crowd I congregate with of any size is at church, and that's because I want and need to. Guess that may be why I've never had pneumonia or the flu. And my life is still wonderful to me, I'm happy and content every day.........

The old book “Who moved my cheese” comes to mind.

I have rallied against those who fear change and now.....

I'm old enough to have had grandparents that lived through the Great Depression and WW2. It's sad that the later generations didn't have access to those folks. Whenever I think I got it bad I think about their stories.
