What would happen if the whole country permanently lost electric power? What would happen if there were no supermarkets? What would happen if the Internet went down for days? What would happen if the planet’s oil reserves suddenly dried up? What would happen if money became devalued and worthless? What would happen if there were no media, no news, no weather, no radio? What would happen if there were no pharmacies or drugstores? What would happen if there were no water treatment facilities, no sanitation laws?

In this day and age, in the US and many other countries, we take for granted how easy and convenient and cushy our lives really are. I’m extremely grateful for all of the conveniences and scientific and technological advances that are a part of today’s society. I just wish more people would ponder questions like the ones above and take the time to appreciate how fortunate they are and how thrilled they should be to be living at this point in human history.
