The World Will Never Be The Same

For worse — and for much better

These are tough times.

No doubt.

No question.

The COVID-19 is making that so.

But we have to be tougher than these tough times — than this tough disease.

Yes — we didn’t know how good we had it. But when we have it again — and we will have that way again — we will appreciate what we’ve got even more.

And yes, the world will never be the same. And in many ways, that is a daunting fact. But in many other ways, that is a very good thing.

Life simply could not go on like it was going.

The self-absorption was out of control.

Celebrity idolatry was at an all-time high.

Do we now really give a flying fig about William, Kate, Harry, and Meghan Markle and the Royal scandals?

I know I sure don’t.

And I never really did.

There is now — and always has been — bigger fish to fry than to concern ourselves with the two off-shoot sectors of a multi-billion-dollar royal family who may or may not be getting along.
