People are exhibiting panic behavior. Buying toilet paper, fishbowl cleaner, ceiling fans as vents, 9 patients to a vent. I hear wealthy people are trying to buy a “personal vent” (as if a vent without someone who knows how to use it is more than a boat anchor). Shameful behavior. I learned from my m other that the real strength of this country is not in “our elite” who are our country’s irresponsible Royalty for a great part but the masses of quiet people who refuse under any circumstances to renounce their own dignity.
“Just because a person is poor doesn’t mean they have no dignity” my mother would say.
This is the time we must face our challenge. This is our opportunity to rise to the occasion. We will comport ourselves in such a way that history will record THIS as “Our FInest Hour” if we just remember who we are. We aren’t the basketball players or wealthy politicians. We are the backbone of this country.
Your words are wise (and so are your mother's).
Be well ..........
I agree, your Mom was wise in her words. We could take lessons from the British during WW2. At the time and under the leadership of Winston Churchill they weathered the daily bombing of Germany with incredible courage and determination. It was their finest hour.
After the war the people basically cast aside the man who led them through it all and have now become a nation I do not recognize after spending 3 yrs there in the early to mid 60’s.
