While people were lining up for the buses, I simply told my wife and son that I'd meet them over there because it was a perfect autumn morning and I wanted to get some fresh air.
Everybody lined up for the buses thought I was nuts as I simply crossed the street and started walking. I beat my family there by about 20 minutes and then on the way back to the auditorium, I beat them there too. Bear in mind that it was a 45 minute to one hour wait to board the buses!
Out of the several thousand people who came to this open house, I was the only one of them that decided to walk to the campus and back from the auditorium. To me, it was nothing at all. But for most others, you might as well have told them you were going to be hiking the Appalachian trail.
The point is, most people today would never think of walking a mile someplace. Maybe that is why we are all so fat.
Perfect analogy of what is wrong with the extremes of Western society. Some long to get fat and lazy or help someone else get as fat as the other guy.
Be careful of what you wish for, you just might get it.
Witness France, paying anti-western, Christianophobic, murders and thugs to do their "work" for them.
Oh Rome! I see you more clearly by the day.
