Are you able to be replaced or done without; superfluous, expendable, disposable, replaceable, inessential, unessential, nonessential, unnecessary, unneeded, needless, not required, redundant, superfluous, surplus to requirements, gratuitous or uncalled for?
Think about it? How essential are you?
When you filled out your application for a job, you were replacing someone who had worked there before. When you leave, someone else will take your place.
Sure you may have had some good ideas that made you (or someone else) money and got acclaim and attention, but then comes the day when you are replaceable.
As you carry your trophies and plaques and awards home, someone else comes by to sit in your chair. That’s the way the world goes round.
A recognizable name maybe recorded in the history books or a statue constructed to memorize you. Hang a giant portrait on the wall but put a description of who the person is. The final legacy will be the gravestone.
So now there is this possible cure from something flying in the wind suffocating thousands all over the world and the powers-that-be are prioritizing who comes first.
Are you ready to get poked with some chemical that ‘might’ make you immune to this pandemic? What, you’ve got to get a second shot? How long will it take before you can take off your mask and hug someone else?
The desire to live is fundamental.
Who makes the list? Who will be first to get the life saving shot in the arm? Draw a number for the lottery.
We’ve talked about ‘essential’ workers, so figure out where you are in line.
Those who are making the life or death decisions maybe swayed by money or prestige or threats, while the rest of us may wait to see if our life matters.
And now a break for a message from our sponsor…
