It has been a rough couple of years for Americans. We have been asked to social distance, wear masks indoors and, if not against our religious or political beliefs, get the Covid vaccine. Of course, we also had to downsize our parties, forego concerts and watch movies on TV. Worst of all, the bars were closed.
Just as we were recovering from these horrific restrictions, Russia's lunatic dictator chose to invade his neighbor; though he is a close friend of our previous President, his actions have stressed the world economy and our investment accounts have taken a major hit. Gas prices may rise a dollar or more per gallon and our Amazon purchases may take more than a day to be delivered. Life is becoming extremely difficult for Americans!
Then again, we can stay in our homes. We need not undergo surgery or deliver our babies while under missile attack. Our grocery may not have the exact brand of granola that we prefer but we will not go hungry. It is safe for our kids to attend school (though they may be exposed to discussions on race and gender). Somehow, we'll get through this crisis.
