First, please don’t get me wrong.
As a bleeding heart liberal, I do not wish hardship or suffering on
anyone (or anything, for that matter). I
don’t even kill bugs, unless they can carry potential diseases (fleas, ticks
mosquitoes). Then I will quickly extinguish
them with a regretful cringe on my face.
I’ve always been more of a life “promoter” than “destroyer,” forever rooting
for the underdogs in life. That being
said…
In a few more weeks, refrigerators and cupboards, along
with accommodating supermarkets, will begin looking mighty bare. Medicines for what ails you will be harder to
find. Need your prescription refilled, “Sorry
we don’t have that in stock now. Maybe
in a month or so.” No more pizza delivery or fast food take-out. Nonchalantly trashing that over-abundance of leftover
food on your plate will no longer be a complacent option. Pets crying for food? Sorry Fido. In other words, if it hasn’t already, my guess is that life’s
gonna get pretty damned “real” for a lot of people out there. More real than it’s ever been before.
Let me hone in on America; the good old opulent U.S. of A.,
and my home. Will this virus be a crude awakening
to Americans’ lifestyles? Or, once everything
settles down and the worst is over, will we just go back to business as usual? Will anybody even remember it (lessons learned)?
Give your thoughts on what this virus will (or does) mean to us,
here in America. Or, what it will (or does) mean
to you, wherever on the planet you may live.
Thanks for posting and recommending.
