These days it's easy to grow weary and be disappointed. There is simply a lot of bad news circulating. The economy isn't doing well, we continue to discover how badly many have behaved, and there doesn't seem to be much of a light at the end of the proverbial tunnel.
The truth is, for a long time we have based our sense of well-being on financial stability and relative wealth. But these are false constructs, as we have suddenly come to re-realize in these past months. A society is only as strong as the foundation upon which it is built. When the house of cards comes tumbling down and the whole thing is revealed as a sham, it's difficult to regain a footing.
What is our reality? Upon what have we built our lives? What is truly important to us? These are the questions we need to be asking ourselves as we put one foot in front of the other and carry on with life.
One day folks will look back, and we will be judged not by the content of our bank accounts, but by that of our character.
