Resiliency

What am I missing? What are any of us missing? How similar?

But you have to discuss within a fair context. What Gazans miss has been missing their entire lives.

Here in Estados Unidos we have what we need for basic survival. And then some! Most of us, anyway. And yes, some more privileged than others. And some simply view it that way. Birthright.

So my sadness rings hollow. Certainly should. No disabilities. Got a job. House. Had a dog. Health – sorta.

Definitely have anesthesia.  Imagine a dental trip without? Then imagine an amputation. At 5 years old. Without!

Shut the fuck up! I know. Like I fucking know. Anything. Our pains so trivial. Just imagine …

And then again.

Resiliency. Survival. Appreciation.

We have so much. I have so much. Food in abundance. Buffets for God’s sake! Movies. Road trip. Beach. Date night. Read anything I wanted. Comic books to porno. The good ole days! MAGA. Book by book and limb by limb.

Imagine nothing but survival. And movement, nothing stationary. Death chasing and gaining ground. Shouts, screams, explosions, blood, and loss. Everyday. We just don’t know or understand. So distant. What did Trump say today over double smash burgers and fries.

Ha, ha. We’re doomed.

Good times.
