stockpiling...

PASSING THOUGHT: Sad to watch an online U.S. friend so busy stockpiling her own brand of material happiness that she ignores the needs of others. She just flaunts her latest purchases. Yes, she's creative, but surely we should be sensitive to these strange times and do our part.

I always admired the creative spirit of this lady...
Amazing attention to surviving and creating her own brand of paradise...
I thought she was a role model of how to generate your own happiness...
How to live by your wits...

But now that image has soured...
Her life is all about collecting and selling old furniture and bric-a-bac...
She collects the tropical for her Florida paradise...

And openly mocks all there is about the pandemic...

(Notably, she never asks about others...at least, not online...
It's all about 'self'...
Admittedly, I saw this trait emerging before the pandemic...
But now it is stronger than ever...)

Her life goes on as per usual...

Her postings are parades of the latest acquisition
or the latest adjustment to her shop...

I understand, perhaps she may be standing strong
in the face of the current crisis...
but her strength is weighted with
a mockery of what is happening in the world...
a mockery verging on a complete denial...


I am shocked...
Horrified
Disappointed
