Herein, as I said, luxuries, true luxuries of modern life we take for granted--and that are actually relatively new, too, being less than 100 years old, most of them.
- Heating in our homes, furnaces, for when it's cold
- Cool air from a machine in that same house when it's otherwise hot out
- Machines that can and do whisk us across our cities, states or even nations, quickly and easily
- The cooling and/or heating of those machines
- Hot water for the using
- Cold water
- Toilets. Enough said.
- Grocery stores loaded with food
- Food, abundantly, readily available
- Extremely affordable food
- Blue jeans (Yes, blue jeans).
- Medicines available to cure us, frequently quickly
- Affordable medicines. More true in the rest of the world than the US but still true, even here where health care is far too high priced.
A great deal to appreciate that we may, as I said, take for granted.
Have a great day.
