AT WHAT COST?

DAY 9 - JULY POSITIVITY CHALLENGE

Human Nature is such that we tend to want more than what we have. If we have a one bedroom house we want a two bedroom. If we have a four door sedan we want a big SUV. Wherever you are in life think about those who came before us and how they used to live. In fact there are parts of the world that still call a small one room house their home. We have taken our lives for granted and are losing our appreciation for what we have forgetting that there are so many that do not have anything. And although modernity suggests that we move forward and expand the question one must always ask is 'At what cost?' If having a huge house means having to work more and seeing your children less.. is it worth it?

This is an actual house in Winthrop WA circa late 1800's
