GET WRITING FOLKS AND REMEMBER TO KEEP IT FUN.
With Christmas coming - let's all share a laugh as after all, this has been a long and hard year for many. It has been a ball for some - full of fun and laughter,and it has been hell on earth for others - arguments, fights and more.
Very few of us remember World war 2 - it was before most of our times. This then, has been the most traumatic and lengthy period in any of our lives when things dramatically and drasticly changed - and not always for the best. Billions of people are inolved - Every country on the planet has been affected - Not a single human being out of almost 8 billion, has not been affected by this pandemic.
There will be tens of thousands of heart breaking stories - and there will be tens of thousands of laughter and love shared. Highs and lows. Ups and downs. Everyone has a story to tell and everyone has experienced this in their own way. Some have defrauded the system to the tune of multi millions while others have been struggling with not having enough food to eat and surrounded with screaming hungry kids and no income.
The rich should offer to assist the poor.
Those with - can help those without.
It takes every one of us NOT to be alone and selfish during this time and it is NOT happening just to you and you are NOT the only one suffering.
Believe me, I hear all sorts of stories here and some astound.
I look forward to reading your stories.
John Bellamy
