I’ve often thought about why we are where we are and among many reasons, here is one reflection. First world problems created these Karens. Busy bodies that are so angry and sad. But why? We’re surround by abundance. So many choices and luxuries that only decades ago reserved for the very wealthy. But this abundance in material has taken away from the abundance in spirit. The recent video of the “coconut man” who has nothing but is amazingly happy and exudes joy. Such a stark contrast.

New problem created by the symptom of another problem.
