Today I need to vent. I came home from shoppping for groceries feeling guilty that I had spent 'too much'. Not that I bought extravagantly - or even bought everything I really needed to buy. It's just that in this current economic climate of expanding costs and shrinking pay checks, that is the only one area I have where it is within my power to cut the cost. So I try and try... and never get it as low as I want or need to. Not even like I eat much. Never buy anything fancy -either foodwise or in any other respect. But I buy healthy. I am vegan, and I also refuse to kill my body with junk food and processed food. It seems to me to be a very upside down thing that good healthy natural food with no chemicals added should be MORE costly than 'food' in cans and packets that has a grand old helping of nasty stuff in every bite! What is the world coming to? Plus, I made myself angry by telling myself once again that I am 'blessed to have a job'. Dammit - I shouldn't have to think like this! I live in USA, I am intelligent, work hard, have good work ethic, and I excel at whatever I do. Why in heaven's name should this country (and UK too) have brought us to a situation of 'feeling grateful' that we have a means to earn money??? Man, I know I do not have any sort of 'retirement years' ahead of me. If I thought too deeply on how little my investments are worth right now, I would probably just jump off a bridge and end it all this minute. I'll be working till the day I drop dead. But I will not pass judgement, or bestow curses upon the selfish fat cats who brought us to this place - they have done so for themselves even if they do not yet know it. One day they will have to stand before their maker and acccount for themselves. And you know what.... I think I would much rather be me than them. Thanks for letting me get all that off my chest. Blessings.
