My great aunt used to tell me, “We’re living in a terrible world.”
I was always amazed that she felt that way about life because she had a very good life while living in a small town with no financial worries. She was a spinster who lived all her adult years with her sister, my grandmother and my grandfather.
Grandpa owned the only hardware store in town, so money was not a problem. Despite her obvious pessimism, she lived to be 102.
Maybe she was able to look beyond her own idyllic life to the suffering multitudes around the world. Of course, she lived through two world wars, also.
I’ve never been a pessimist, but I am well aware that millions of people around the world won’t have enough food today.
You and I must lighten their burden!
If not today, when?
