One of the most important conversations happening today: “Who is responsible for putting food on the table?” People used to say it was the man’s job, but as society turned away from “the man” has the situation turned into “every man for their self”? The U.S. president is now demanding food assistance money be repaid by states like Kansas who paid full benefits to their citizens for the month of November.
The moment has passed, words have been exchanged, time has transpired and suddenly, as if the sun dawns its light in the mind, a clearer picture forms in hindsight. Is this relatable, or is it just me? Often emotions blur perception during situations, though it is personally getting easier to be aware of more in each moment when a little experience is applied, and the internal state is clear. The more a moment appears threatening or potentially unacceptable, the blurrier it can get.
