Today was a good day... services, paperwork (visa appl filled out, picture gotten, air flights arranged...) and went to beer choosing meeting... for Rotary...
AND - talked w/Jim ... at our visit... AND a new idea developed...
SO - it is asked --- what do the poor, homeless people do all day... what would they do all day ... ??? Without resources -- they forage.... work... etc.. IF they had reasonable food, clothing, and shelter... and didn't HAVE TO Forage, work, etc... what would they do? Play at what? Eat, DRINK, ---- WHAT?? Since we don't want them "squandering" their time ... we do not fill their reasonable needs - whatever reasonable might be...
HOWEVER -- what about the rich and well housed people... what do they do all day? Assuming they are not necessarily continuing to amass wealth... Why would/do they? THEN - what do they do? What about that child, grandchild, etc... who never has had to work... and doesn't work... What do they do????
Can the poor and the rich be similarly provided for... Even if the State provides for the poor and the Family provides for the privileged?
OF COURSE -- sure -- doing meaningful work is important... It is mentally healthy... etc etc...
BUT -- do not a lot of people do not so meaningful work ... for instance in the Health Fields... Doctors, nurses, and such do important meaningful work... What about all those people pushing papers around for insurance companies???
OY!!!!!
Today was a good day... Talked/listened to Pam...
Thought about my sister and parents... Not a lot to really think about there... In various ways we all get the last laugh!! I will be soo very surprised if the Tallit shows up... I begin to think .. the suggestion it was found along with other things ... were just sister, et al, trying to get one more DIG in... And that is ok... I don't really have any reason to react.
And so IT goes... It=Life... and Life goes on....!!!!
