For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
pandemic, selfish or self-less?
In this pandemic, and probably every pandemic since the beginning of time, brings out the best and worst in people. Every where we look is panic buying, fighting over food and of course the good ol' TP, aka toilet paper. however, I, like the rest of you have no idea what makes people connect this pandemic and its symptom's to the need of having excessive amount of TP. As one person said it don't give you the sh*ts. But then again, there are a lot of people so full off it. But unfortunately, in these types of events, people become selfish, but not in the way you think. The people whom are selfish are the ones whom take no notice of the rules and regulations put in place, those whom are so so stupid and believe they can't get covid 19. These people, for instance, take Melbourne for example, it's been found one in four people who either tested positive, have symptom's, told to self-isolate and wait on test results, were not at home when authorities checked in on them and some of them had gone to went to work, which then made it that each of those work places were shut down, everyone sent home for two week mandatory isolation and the workplaces thoroughly deep cleaned. So basically for a maximum of a few days works, these people have shut down their own workplace down. Imagine, then, eventually when these people do go back to work, how much their going to cop from everyone at work. That is if their workplace ever re-opens. I'm pretty sure, though these worker's will be the first to be let go in the event of a re-structure, or down sizing at the business. They should have thought about that fact before doing what they did, however the fact still remains, it is one of the most selfish acts to do at a time like this. And because of these few, everyone has to suffer more and for longer, and if your one of the few, who couldn't do the right thing, the harsh but true reality is you are one of the reason's stage four has had to come into effect.

Individual Similarities
About a week after a confrontation with a dear friend of mine about the current social issues of society, I realized a problem from both ends. Neither one of us listened. We argued for being right instead of trying to fix the wrong or try to listen to the others’ side because we felt wronged and felt unheard. There are many sayings for this but, Peter Drucker said it best, “The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn’t being said.” What was that exactly? Our stories. We felt the other trying to discredit what the other grew up and knew to believe but, never listened to why the other didn’t believe it. We often fail to realize that we can’t live someone’s life. We can only listen to their story and understand what makes that person themselves.

Mourning for Beirut, Lebanon from Atlanta, Georgia.
Our friends and family of the world, speak of the shock, the smoke, waves of wind and glass that shattered their homes and uprooted their lives in an instant. The port where the explosion took place, sits on the northern end of the Mediterranean coast near Turkey, The Port of Beirut, in (Arabic) مرفأ بيروت , is one of the busiest shipping centers of the country.

Sugar baby on what would you do?
So if you don't know what this show is it's this show that stages these scenes or scenarios that do really happen in real life. They do this to test to see what people would do. Would they step up and do or say something or walk away and mind their own business.

kain, not able.
It started as the classic plea, a tale as heartbreaking and old as time: "have any spare change?" I looked at the one who'd tossed these gentle but desperate words my way: young, mid twenties. African american, clearly gay, kind brown eyes and a desperate look on his face. He had a tired look about him, worn out even. He looked like a friend.

Through My Eyes
I shift uncomfortably in my chair, feeling the pressure of the seat on my legs, knowing I should be listening to the lesson but the constant humming of the snack refrigerator in the corner pulls my attention. I hear the feet shuffling around me, whispers of kids not paying attention; a sniffle… a fly buzzing and bouncing off the window. I register the droning voice of the teacher somewhere amidst it all. I count the bounces of the fly… one… two… three… fo –

About me, an introduction
I am Brooke. People just call me Brooke. I am 49 years old and in that time I have seen and done an awful lot. For starters, I grew up in California but in 2018 I packed up everything I had and my dog and moved to Kentucky to be near my only child, my daughter Sydney. It wasn't brave and it wasn't for the adventure, but rather out of necessity. It was do or die time for me and if she and her fiance Ryan hadn't come out to swoop me up I likely would be dead right now. Yep, you read that right. I don't expect I would have survived much longer on the streets of Rancho Cordova, California. For one thing, I am used to having a home of my own. Second, my poor little Babydog was used to having a home as well. And we struggled. She struggled to keep up and I struggled, well, I struggled with a lot of things. I'll get into that more later. For now, let's just leave it at this: in 2018 my daughter saved my life.
