   Why do we not allow ourselves moments of tranquility once in a while? With the holidays at our doorstep, and with all the contention in society around us, I propose this: Get a relaxing CD. Find a quiet corner. Shut off all forms of outside communication and noise. Eat something with cheese attached, pour yourself a glass.
   Sit back and relish that fact that your house is probably not going to be hit by an incoming mortar. You will more than likely be eating some form of food tomorrow. The police will most likely not snatch you from your bed in the middle of the night for questioning. Your lovely daughters can be taught to read and write, and you can actually see their faces out in public.You're not cold. The grocery store has groceries. You are able to travel when you want, at least locally, and no one asks for your papers.
   Oh, the petty dilemmas of First World problems.
   While you relax and indulge in your moment of quiet, take that moment and thank Almighty God for the blessings that you possess. And to all, a good life.
