Many people living in one day at a time recovery have limited incomes. Often just paying our bills becomes a challenge for many of us. It could happen to anyone. Right now, as it usually is, the world is facing an economic conundrum. The system of meritocracy needs merit most of us just a little more. Or so we believe – just a little more. A reality is – is that many of us need to curb our obsessive want. Community has told us this for a long time. Our unbridled greed interferes with the fulfillment of a community’s needs. Unbridled greed interferes with the growth of community and creates economic injustice. Community’s existence is the attempt to hold unbridled greed at bay. We know greed is not a good thing. Many of us who struggle economically still attempt to help those who are less fortunate than ourselves. When we do so we are doing so because of the benefits of one day at a time recovery. We have become reasonable souls. Also we know what struggle is like. Conundrum or not many people choose to be kind and generous. We all benefit. Maybe kindness and generosity will solve the problem. Peace.
