275-Thank you- Buddhism in daily life

Thank you


Everybody is talking about thank you .....


..... but thank you does not make full


Everywhere I read just how grateful one is to the nurses, the
truck drivers, the sales clerks etc.. All politicians praise the
occupational groups, which stand in front at the "Corona front".


We all know how poorly these professions are paid, how much some
people are exploited in the process, and now suddenly they are
the heroes of our society?


While the main part of society protects itself at home from the
'danger of life' with HomeOffice and StayHome, other people risk
their health to supply us (as fresh and cheap as possible).


But these people can't buy anything from babbling, a thank you is
nice, but it doesn't fill the fridge.


So, how about a whopping bonus for the nurses, for the postal
employees, for the people who just keep the place running? A
recognition for the services rendered, an appreciation of their
dedication. Combined with an exemption from taxes, let's say for
at least the times of crisis, those would be the words I would
like to hear now.


And yes, it should remain so after the crisis, the thanks should
not be only now and straight.


This blog has as a principle "no politics", no politics.
Nevertheless, today I will vent about the Federal Minister of
Health Jens Spahn, not because of his political opinion, I do not
care about that, but because he does not do his job, has not
done, and also has no ability to do so. When will there finally
be masks, protective suits, disinfectants, gloves?


When will the professional groups that all the dignitaries are
thanking be properly equipped? Was the responsible minister too
busy? And if so, with what? The virus has been spreading in
Germany for almost 2 months, didn't they see it coming? Countries
like China, Korea, Singapore and Japan have been able to procure
everything they need in a rush, why are no consequences being
drawn in Berlin? There was almost 3 months warning time.


I demand an investigation committee and the immediate resignation
of the sleeping pill! And his salary belongs donated, all funds
belong taken away from him, distributed as a bonus to the nurses.


A thank you doesn't fill you up, and thank you notes from the
sleeping pill sound like mockery too!


Thank you for the tragedy. I need it for my art

How quickly the thanks of men fades away, and ingratitude
becomes!

Who expects thanks for his love, does not love
