I remember a time in the 80’s that my cousins came
back for a visit from Germany. They had a heyday in the grocery store looking
at all the different choices of cereals and pop tarts. It was normal to me, but
there weren’t that many choices where they were currently living.
Fast forward to 2017. What the what!?! Seriously!
How many different kinds of everything do we need?
You want to have a say over what happens to your
body? Well, some people might support you. But, hey! You can go down to the
grocer and pick up any kind of muffin you want! Blueberry, chocolate, chocolate
chip, lemon poppy seed, raspberry, pumpkin, banana, with frosting, without
frosting, sprinkles or fruit … the list goes on and on!
You want to have a choice in what kind of job you
work in? Ummmm… how much education do you have? How much money did you spend on
that education? Are you willing to relocate? Are you willing to work overtime?
You sure you are ok with constantly looking over your shoulder to make sure
someone else isn’t trying to work you out of a job? – The economic market might
be tough, but that’s ok! You can go to the store and pick one of a gazillion
types of cigarettes! Short packs, long packs, regular strength, extra strength,
lights, ultra-lights, menthol, boxes that come with camel dung, red label,
black label, silver label, gold label, dark yellow box, light yellow box,
orange box, teal box, light blue box, … (sigh!)
Are you wishing you were given the opportunity to
speak your truth more? Or are you afraid of repercussions? – Go to the store
and get yourself any kind of toothpaste you want; bubblegum, mint, cinnamon,
with or without fluoride, sensitive or not, with or without whitening …
What does the grocery store have to do with your
life choices? The better question is, are we spending our time and resources focusing
on creating choices in the right areas of life?
How many pounds of sugar come in that 12oz box
aren’t going to help a person with their overall well-being and quality of
life.
Does that observation leave a bad taste in your
mouth?
