Erika, well said. You just reminded me of an old “Twilight Zone” episode where a gambler dies and finds himself in a hotel room with a butler serving him. He wins every wager, he has beautiful women accompanying him, he has marvelous food choices and he basically gets anything he wants. And, he is horribly bored as he misses the risk. He tells the butler he wants to go to hell instead and the butler laughs and says you are in hell. Keith

He said this so well with just few words. I had to share it!

Oh, that’s a great story to clearly illustrate this “misunderstanding.” Not having any dreams left and nothing to live for – that’s indeed hell!

Thanks. Did you ever watch the old black and white filmed “Twilight Zone?” Great writers creating these thirty minute life lessons with guest actors who went on to be stars.

No, I didn’t, and I have to confess that I never watched an episode of any version. But I already made a note that I have to check whether we can stream it on Netflix or Disney+.

Erika, the show begins with host Rod Serling teeing up the theme and it ends with him closing out the message. Without revealing plots, top of mind I can remember a woman not knowing she is a mannequin, people in a “No Exit” kind of situation, a myopic man who loves books with not enough time to read, etc. Keith

Yes indeed Gary, those things then begin to lose their appeal. Simply because appreciation has not been taught by us getting less…or better yet, shared with love. Great post kind sir, and thank you for sharing posts lovingly Erika 🤗❤️🙏

My pleasure, Mark. It is such a key sentence in my opinion!

Mark, your comment reminded me that children usually get what they want at a higher percentage than adults do. So, they grow accustomed to that and it does not prepare them well for life’s no’s. Keith

Wow, that’s so true, Keith. That is a real eye-opener in this context.

That is for sure Keith. Some parents love too much, some not enough. That middle ground must have parents who used their silencing ear muffs a little more 🤣❤️🙏

Mark, good framing, but parents need to know saying “no” does not mean they don’t love them; often it is greater evidence they do. “You cannot go to that party without parents there,” eg. Keith

That is for sure Keith. I keep thinking, because of so many varieties in upbringing, that there should be a ‘parenting’ class as soon as you get married. And I don’t mean the basics on how to change nappies, but those finer points you just mention. Many, because of their upbringing, do not know how. It would at the least give a much better starting point for many 🤗❤️🙏
