Congratulations

Congratulations to those whose situations could not get any worse – you have moved up a notch. Things may have been pretty dire for you, but dire is the new normal, and your neighbor needs that $1200 stimulus payment as much as you do. Better than a stimulus check, many people have been released from prison due to coronavirus-related health risks – how freaking lucky is that? California Governor Gavin Newsom has stated that over 7000 homeless have been taken off of the streets and placed into hotels and motels – it took a virus, but I could not imagine a better stroke of fortune for someone on the streets without a glimmer of hope or light. It should be noted that it would be completely inhumane to put the newly-housed homeless back on to the streets, which created a natural opportunity to create a sustainable re-integration to society, for those who are willing and able.

You can’t complain about people’s head-starts. You’re a baby now. A baby with a conscious, experienced soul. Shine now or forever hold your peace.

You can coast now, or you can take this opportunity to recognize that you have just as much chance of succeeding as your neighbor.
