I am fortunate enough to be working in a grocery store during this time of uncertainty. I do appreciate being able to work and I have been working long ass days.
I needed food, like everyone else, and decided to grab a few things before heading home for the night.
I grabbed grape flavored Crystal Light for the kids. I didn't read the label. Just reached for it, threw it in the cart and moved on to the next item.
It wasn't until today, when my son was looking for something to drink, that he discovered the words, "with Caffeine" on the label. My son was like, "Whoa, when did you start buying this?"
I was surprised. I didn't pay attention. I was tired. I have bought this product before. Why would I think it would change?
Trust. I trusted that the product wouldn't change. I didn't notice when it did but it did. I get it, my fault for not reading the package. I was blah blah.
It got me thinking.....
How many times have I been mislead by a slight unnoticeable change? How often have I been distracted by life, that I missed something? Something that I wouldn't like?
Hmmmm.....
What a perfect way to manipulate someone. What a perfect way to try to control the outcome of something.
Spring 2009, Swine Flu created, a sickness that pigs get. Later renamed, H1N1.
100 Million Americans infected. 75,000 died from it. 936,000 hospitalized.
CDC estimates. Google it, I did.
Did we close cities, states or countries during that outbreak? Did we mandate a quarantine? Did companies close doors?
Answer to that is, NO.
Something bigger is going on here. It seems impossible to think otherwise when you research past illnesses and facts.
So, why is this one bringing on such a pandemic?
What are we missing here?
Until Next Time,
~It is what it is~
