The Mirror

Some of the most familiar pieces of household furniture can take on immense importance when we are deprived of them.

I imagine that by the time you read this, I will be dreaming longingly of everyday objects such as televisions, chairs, microwaves and food processors.

And looking at my Rainforest Diet Sheet, I expect I'll be homesick for my wife's delicious breakfasts too!
If we miss ordinary objects so much, which can easily be replaced with a simple shopping trip, think how much more we must miss human beings. Our loved ones are irreplaceable. A day without someone you trust and adore is a day with an empty ache. It is sad that our society is often so materialistic that we will value objects above lives - particularly the lives of people we
don't know.

Everyone is loved by someone. It might be trite for me to say that everyhuman being is worth infinitely more than any mere object - but it's a lesson all of us need to relearn daily.
