Nothing threatens us. We fear no midnight raids. No hordes lurk at the fates. Life is good and will remain so forever, it seems. A new gazebo graces our back yard and new trees promise shade and beauty.
Life is good .
Nothing politicians do or don't do will alter my way of life one way or the other. I, at least, neither need a rescue nor fear an invasion. F Scott Fitsgerald observed that nothing grows stale so soon as pleasure. We're having such a good time that we haven't noticed that we have to work harder and harder to keep it that way. We are so deep in the pleasures of our lives that we don't realize that we need a rescue.
