Ok here is said thread i mentioned in another discussion. Figured i would put it here since it had no place anywhere else.
So here we all are doing our "Prep'n" thing. SOme more serious than others, and thats ok. IF and WHEN the time comes to utilize our arrangements how grim are you gonna be on a day to day basis. Will the rustle of leaves cause you to instantly lock and load, then unload on said sound? WIll there be raiders around every corner in your eyes. Or will you try and find the possible best in every scenario and every person you happen upon?
I think sometimes as prep'rs we can get a bit.... pesimistic (hope that is the right word to use here) or perhaps a bit Hard in our views of our fellow mans inability to see the need to prep. This can easily flow over into a shtf situation where we can sit back behind our preps, guns, defenses, and possible team and just view the outside world with a bit of disgust, animosity and possible annoyance and even hatred toward those out there. Or wil still be able to enjoy the simple comfort of a sweet smelling flower, the songs made by a childs laughter, the sense of belonging as we sit around and chat with others who are trying to make it also. Or how about that sense of accomplishment for helping others to make it a bit easier on them and in return the community/area you are in.
I sincerely hope to maintain my sense of humor in a SHTF situation. Some are experiencing it on this board now (Izzy, Dragon, Backpakcer and others....). They say laughter is the best medicine, and i agree.
Let us not forget from where we come lest we be doomed to repeat it.
So i say look for the best, pray for peace, prepeare for war. But above all dont forget who you are.
