RE: Win some STEEM as I celebrate 500 followers milestone! Favourite Quote-of-the-day Contest!

in #contest6 years ago

"A well-fed man has many problems. A hungry man only has one."

Some people living in stable societies (especially in Western Europe and Canada/the US) are very good at finding foolish things to worry about, such as "politically correct" pronouns, who should use which bathroom (based on their "feelings" about "gender"), the latest gossip about immoral movie stars, singers and politicians, and news about who won the latest sportsball game.

They let themselves be distracted from the truly important issues, where they could make a difference in the lives of the people they care about, such as performing acts of loving kindness for their family and friends, passing on sound ethical values to their children and preparing for possible calamities: learning first aid, storing some simple medicine, bottled water and dry food (rice, powdered milk, simple spices etc.), acquiring self-defense skills etc.
