Life Goes On

 

During my 78 years of life, I have learned one important lesson...

• I was born shortly after the end of WWII.
• I lived through the Korean War, the Cold War, the Vietnam War, several Middle Eastern Wars, and the Afghanistan withdrawal.
• My life changed but changed very little after Nine Eleven, the financial crisis of 2008, the Oil Crisis, and COVID.
• My life was also somewhat different after high school graduation, discharge from the military, college graduation, as well as grad school graduation.
• When I (along with my wife) retired in 2015, my life pretty much stayed the same as it did after being diagnosed with cancer and a heart attack at the age of 60.

The lesson that I learned after living for 78 years, is that LIFE GOES ON...  regardless of what happens to you, to your community, to your state, to your country, or two the world short of a NUCLEAR HOLLOCAUST.   

• Democrats win/lose
• Republicans win/lose
• Independents win/lose
• and guess what?

LIFE GOES ON...

We may bitch more than we did before, but life itself does not really change.

We have terrible crime going on in:

• New York City, New York
• Washington, DC
• Atlanta, Georgia
• Chicago, Illinois
• Memphis, Tennessee
• Portland, Oregon
• and guess what?

LIFE GOES ON...

Mainstream Media, social media, Print Media, all of it designed to make money by talking about STUFF they know the general public wants to hear about so advertisers can see products to unsuspecting buyers.

THESE PEOPLE LOVE ADVERSE NEWS

But, where I live in East Tennessee, my life throughout all this CRAP changes very little, if any.  Groceries and gasoline may cost a little more, as does going out to eat, and vacations but the increased costs does not STOP ME...  nor, do I suspect it STOPS YOU!!!

LIFE GOES ON...
