I HOPE EVERYONE IS WELL
I've got started on my Christmas shopping, of course my granddaughters Christmas bag is sorted, we have just bought her a new tablet as her old one is to slow for her. 3 year old and complaining her tabby isn't working fast enough, is it just me or do children grow up even faster these days. Don't know how the kids of today would get through a 1970s day. Imagine them waking up to a TV with 3 stations, no tablets, PCs or phones to play with but lots of outside fun riding bikes, climbing trees and playing games with your friends. Food not on tap, very few snacks and water from a hose pipe.
When I think back to how we lived to back then and how good they have it now, maybe we should let them experience for a week imagine the bad temper and attitude. I was talking to my husband and daughter the other day about the way we lived. I was a family of 5, father was a miner and our mother was a cleaner. We couldn't just take what we needed to eat out of the cupboards or fridge, we had to ask first very rarely getting a yes mainly because my parents weren't nice plus they couldn't afford to have crisps and sweets we were lucky to get fed twice a day. Then if they had extra cash we would be lucky to get a sixpence mix up on a Friday. When I mentioned the sugar sandwichs, bread, margarine then sugar plus Turnip dipped in sugar my daughter said thats disgusting but when you have nothing and want something sweet then you use what you have and it wasn't that bad. Imagine handing a child a piece now instead of a biscuit, scary thought.
I think back to then and realise that was over 50 years ago, how fast has 50 years flown by. Another 50 and I won't be here, another scary thought.
The world keeps turning and should be improving but still we are going through wars and politicians that think they own us and can treat us like slaves. No one seems to learn anything even though everything around us is changing the human race is still the worst race on this planet, selfish, evil and blinkered. They say there is no such thing as Monsters, we are the Monsters.
You would think the amount of time humans have been on this planet they would have evolved in to loving, caring people learning from all the bad things that have happened but no, the bad things just keep getting worse, Humans keep jumping over that line, one step forward 10 back, pushing those limits way to far. There is the odd good person who does something that shocks you, that should be happening all the time, we should all want to do good.
WILL WE EVER LEARN
