Profound truth my friend. A FAVE for your wisdom words, Demetrios. Beautiful foliage--beautiful flowers from your garden.

I blame modern living and the media promoting things like you must have this, you must have that. In reality we only need the basics to survive, food and shelter are really the only things you need, sad though that some in our world do not even have these. Tom

True what you say, my dearest friend, Tom, however, we should be more vigilant and succumb not easily to the evils of promotion. Thank you for your analytic comment. Be blessed!

In reality, everything exists for mankind to utilize; sadly, human greed has no bounds. Well, Dear friend Demetrios, you said that perfectly. I hope you're feeling better now that your Covid adventure is over.
