The only reason I am still here is because of those who care. By this I mean people who care about other people, the survival of humanity. We who feel emotion and who love other people, love life, love hearing what others think. I call this THOSE WHO CARE or THC's.
Today a friend came to fix some things in the garden, my husband made lunch, Debbie organized the women's group where four of us joined on zoom, and a local woman came to give us a pedicure. One man guided my wheelchair into the room where I could link. After that gathering I had a nap and when I woke up it occurred to me the only reason we still live on this planet is because of those who care, who reach out and organize a meeting, who come to the house to fix small things in the garden, who prepare food, who wash up dishes then plan supper.
These people are not millionaires, famous or even talking about saving the world. They just care about others. I call them PWC's. Some care about hospitals, the economy, education, or social issues.
People who have a sense that there's more to life THAN ME. People who spend time thinking about what's happening in this world we live in. There are big arguments about what is right and what is wrong, but in the end, it boils down to me and you, them and us.
Yes we have problems trying to get along with one another but in the end it comes down to seeing others, hearing them, and caring about them.
I know there are these sophisticated arguments about who should be here and who shouldn't, good beliefs, harmful beliefs, good people and bad people, policing, schooling, driving, healing. It's too much. We have created other
problems by looking at the larger picture. Training people to write with their right hand, to learn science, sociology, truth, lies. Then we wonder if we have the right colour skin, the right beliefs, the right clothes, the right education.
We are trapped in a bid of who deserves to be here and who doesn't. So we never get to caring for each other. But we must start with that no matter what your IQ or bank account says.
We must care about life and the health of others.
