So Many Channels And Nothing Worth Watching
And that is what I face today. Not TV but life in this country. So many issues to think about but no way I can keep up. The strife in Ferguson that is spreading throughout the country, pushes for a raise in the minimum wage and calls for $15 per hour for fast food workers, the lack of belief that life will be better for our children and grandchildren than it was for us and so much more.
What can I write about these topics that hasn't already been said by others... and more eloquently? I am a hack, I know that. I have so very little talent for writing that it amazes me that I have not thrown in the towel long ago. It also amazes me that some people actually read what I write. I have an urge to pity those who read my posts. And, yet, I am grateful when I find out that they have.
i can only repeat the words my mother often said: "Life ain't fair! get over it!"

Or as someone said (on a TV show; don't remember who): You want fair, go live on a Kibbutz. Still, I feel for those less fortunate, esp. with the start of the holiday season.
Tom, it is hard not to feel sorry for those less fortunate. Yet, I am ambivalent about that since my experiences taught me that, for the most part (not all, of course), their misfortune is the result of choices they made. They make the choices they do based on perceptions they have of life (see also Aesop's fable of "The Grasshopper and The Ant"). Still, I feel for them... as do we all.
