. . . I’m not. But I am spending a lot of time in it as we look for a place to call home. We will find one, please don’t feel sorry for me, it’s frustrating and difficult, but we are just in between.
What I would like you to do, is take that flash of compassion you felt just then and direct it to the homeless. Far too many are not just “in-between” and are forced to find their way through a cruel world without the assurance a permanent set of lockable-walls , their next meal, and roof overhead. There is no reason why anyone should be living out of a car or on the streets. No reason.
Do not argue with me on this.
We have the capacity in this World to work towards ensuring the food and shelter security of every person. No, it is not an easy task. Growth can be painful. Evolution is hard.
I am not ok knowing that in this instance -the moment I am writing this; the instance you read it; and alllll the moments in between and after- someone is trying to exist without walls or food. Not ok.
Douglas and I joke often about our future as a collective whole (us Terrans as a whole) have divergent paths ahead of us. We can go Star Trek or Road Warrior.
While I love post-apocalypse fashion as much as the next guy, I prefer to build a World of security. Live long, and prosper.
