Greetings Dear Reader,
In this time where
some things pass to fast as we try to move more slowly, it seems that we all
need more hope. The combination of fear
and lack of preparation has many of us grasping for what we think will make us
feel secure. When we think and act out
of fear, we almost always choose poorly.
The toilet paper
crisis is seemingly a fear response causing a bandwagon mentality. If we slowed to ponder the idea, we would not
be buying toilet paper in bulk. We
would see how foolish it is. The same is
true concerning the hoarding of anything as a response based on fear. We must slow down and consider everyone, not
just our own needs and fears.
We are not supposed
to be ruled by fear but it seems our society has been training to be dominated by
it for years. We have marketed products
based on fear. We use fear to inform us
of our needs. Fear is the tool used to
direct our politics and social environments.
We teach each other to buy, elect, and live based on fear.
If we slowed down
and looked at reality, we would not have a worry as to what to do. We would not fear not being in step with the culture
so we would not spend money frivolously.
We would not tolerate fear-mongering as a way to run our government at
any level. It would not be fear that
sowed the seeds of social division among us.
We are not supposed
to be guided by fear, Dear Reader. Slow
down, pray, take a beat, and look around you.
The world will only right itself if we slow down and reject fear. The answer to any crisis is to love our neighbors
and take care of each other. The only
way out is through. The millions of us,
standing together can overcome anything.
We have to learn to be better to each other.
I will do my
part. I will be here and will continue
to post. I have not hoarded
anything. I do not desire to treat anyone
with disrespect or disregard. I cannot
do much but I will keep my faith and keep my head. I will move slowly and tell you what I
see. Perhaps we can learn a better way to
treat each other through all of this.
Wishing you joy in
the journey,
