I had another blog and got locked out of it
so, I am beginning another blog
My blog will be my journal where I post about lots of different things
which I am interested in......I am one of those individuals
And because of the corona virus and so many things being shut down
I decided to begin this new blog
I love books/reading, art, history, politics, cooking/baking, pets/animals/nature,
art and crafts, artist, magazines, technology, music, science, law, photography, films and life...
hopefully I didn't leave anything out
I'm getting to read, study, listen to the news and listen to podcasts
Like everyone I find what is happening world wide astonishing
I worry about myself, but others out there who are living paycheck to paycheck
and the homeless and domestic violence victims who have to remain in their homes
and the elderly who may not be able to make it out to re-stock or are short on funds
and can't get their meals delivered.....here in the United States we are
conditioned a certain way and don't have the same problems as another country
who does not have running water and/or are battling another disease called ebola, such
as, Africa. However, I believe we should do our part to help those in need in the
United States who may not have all the basic essentials....like the homeless etc..
Like other individuals I dislike the hoarding, which is taking place--it is
wrong...not right. In school they teach students about the Holocaust and about
Anne Frank who perished during World War II and we ask ourselves, "how
could this have possibly occurred"? "How could an Adolf Hitler have risen
to great heights"? It begins in small stages with small actions, such as, this
hoarding, which is taking place. It is beneath us as citizens of the United States.
We should look to the past...to history....during World War II and see how
the citizens of this great country and others made things happen during that period. They used
rationing coupons...for example. At the end everyone was fine
with the rationing coupons. And so, everyone should be fine and
should not hoard. The products are there available...when you are
almost about to run out of a product....then do what you did before
and replenish it. The grocery stores are having to mark everything
up in order to control customers from purchasing more than they should.
At the end you are hurting yourself not only with your pocketbook, but
as a human being as well. I was almost running out of toilet paper
and so, I replenished just as I had before. I found paper...there wasn't
a problem. And I've even told a few persons whom I know that I am
willing to share....if they can't find paper. I did this before, but
now I am having to pay a little more for a little less because of the
hoarding. What is funny about my situation is the following: Before
we were told to stay in this was like two weeks ago I went to a local
store to buy toilet paper and the aisles were full. My great concern was
choosing what toilet paper I could afford, which was of better quality
since I am on a budget. Now the aisles are empty.....but
one can still find toilet paper like I did the other day when it was
time to replenish as I have done in the past.
I wish others would deal with this in the same manner and not
hurt themselves by being a hoarder, which is a negative and
not a positive. After all you don't want to wonder if you
would have blindly followed an Adolf Hitler and
gone along with the Holocaust and not done the
right thing. This is the time to rise above all
this.....and test yourselves....and ask yourselves..
can we do the right thing and not the wrong thing
as citizens of the United States and as true human beings.
I hope you enjoy the photos and I do have a flicker account
that you can visit. I would love for you to comment
