Heh... An African safari has its beauty. Its excitement of adventure, and yet its solitude and being lost. You are the hunter, but yet the hunted. Its resources, and its desolation. Welcome to the unknown and life my friend. That's why life is whatever we make of it, and not what happens to us.
I'm off from work today and W is on Spring Break all week.
Here is my thought for today. Selfishness, selflessness and sharing. Tit for tat, sharing resources, lives, homes, money and food.
If you were trapped in wilderness in Africa with Mrs Turbine as you both are now, for 3 days and both of you each had 3 days of food, water, resources, etc, to survive. Who do you think would make the self sacrifices, and who do you think would pridefully divide up the resources equally and keep what is there's to themselves?
Ever notice that's how a marriage goes? You initially share everything in life. Then expectations, resentments, discontention, and the like build up, and next thing you know post BD, you are dividing all the time, the resources, the food, the children, the belongings. We are accused of being selfish, but they never reflect on their own heart, their own behaviors, their own actions...
