Be Grateful
“In a world where we can beam documents around the world in nanoseconds, chat in high-definition video with anyone anywhere, predict the weather down to the minute, it’s very easy to internalize the assumption that nature has been domesticated and submits to our whim.”
I often find myself SMH at the public conversation. People growing dyspeptic at issues that were once rarefied.
The wifi on a commercial airliner kicking the bucket. The evening train running a few minutes late.
We forget how fortunate we are in the scheme of things. Never before has mankind had it so good.
We need to stop whining about what we’ve lost and start enjoying all the things we take for granted.
