I started with the chickens and the topic changed into conflicts. Yesterday my last hen by the name of Dorothy was eaten. Only a pile of feathers was left. Tom the rooster has been crying for her. I feel so sad for him. His mate is gone and now he is alone.
75,000 have died of the coronavirus so far. It most likely will go to 200,000 before medicines are developed. Yet they are only numbers. I worry about my family and loved ones but I do not suffer any pain for all those who have suffered such a great loss. Yesterday I saw a Mexican woman begging for money at Walmart. I wanted to give her $20 but my daughter objected so I walked up to her and gave her $10. My daughter said she did not feel any pain for the woman and small child. Yet I did and so did some others.
So you see a person in need and feel for them but 75,000 dead doesn't cause pain. Yet Tom is sad and I feel sad for him. He is a pet but you cannot pet him. He runs away. The president doesn't care about the 75,000 he only cares about the stock market. It is just numbers. Yet he loves the money numbers and not the people dead numbers.
