I wasn't personally involved with the devastation that many people experienced when the fires went wild here in many areas of Oz, during our summer. Apart from not wanting to go anywhere because of all the smoke.
Many people have lost everything ~ Loved ones and property. But through this time we have seen how strong our bush is and quick to regenerate and how the Aussie spirit is likewise so strong and compassionate.
And I think it can be said that it's as true here as anywhere where there has been great despair and heartbreak, that the human spirit is resilient beyond our knowing.
Sorry to hear that people have been down-voting ~ You more than anyone are so deserving of everything you earn at Steemit. It's crazy why people would do that but then it's hard to understand so much of the craziness that still exists in this world. On the other hand it's still such a beautiful and caring world. Bye for now @papilloncharity. I'm hoping to make my way back to Steemit again very soon. ⚖️⚖️🕊⚖️⚖️
Nothing like a disaster to bring people together and to display their true colors my friend. Yes,nature will certainly regenerate itself, but the losses have changed many lives and resulted in many changed minds regarding the need to be kind to all others.
Sometimes we need an event like this to spark the flame of community love and care. To draw people closer together and to show the spirit of resilience to the world. Aussies are fighters and our prayers were with all of you during the disaster. Still even now during the recovery period!
Regarding the sordid business of downvoting, it continues and I fear that it is going to drive many people away, but such is life my friend.
Blessings!
