Remember:
As bad as 2020 has been/is being, 2021 could be a lot worse.

I take this as you can adjust to what is bad now, and when it is worse, so to speak, you will adjust to that too. Sad! That is the syndrome of the prewar German Jews that ultimately stuffed them into crematoria. Best reject that kind of fake and fatal optimism now before you end up another liquidated Pollyana. This is the same syndrome in black communities, I suspect, as a black Christian friend said to me regarding the chaos in Seattle, "It could be worse."

Sorry for the sledgehammer, I am new to social media! I will not be so harsh as I proceed more circumspectly in the future, I hope. Eben
@Eben I get what you're saying, but I just meant that we shouldn't waste away our lives waiting for next year because we don't know what it will hold. But I do believe that there are things in life that one cannot change, those things we just have to "adjust to", accept, and embrace. Such as illness or losing a loved one, that can only be done with God.
