It is much like the story of the ant and the grasshopper. The grasshopper spends all day playing his fiddle or his lute or whatever it was he played, and all the ants listened while they gathered food for the winter.
Mr. Grasshopper wasn't too concerned about the winter because "heck, the sustenance dispenses in such great abundance now, that it is unimaginable to think that things could ever not be like this". Now the ant must have thought the grasshopper a colloquial indolent for his crude understanding of nature and the flow of prosperity and loss.
December comes and sure enough the grasshopper has no food so he goes to the ant and asks for some. Of course the ant only gathered enough for himself, so he shoos the grubby beggar to the dark clutches of merciless winter.
The moral: the ant gets to listen to music and survive through the winter. The point of this story is to promote awareness to preparedness.
If you are not prepared then you are simply and essentially no better than a grasshopper. If you look through history then you can see that basically every lifetime or so there is some sort of major catastrophe that breaks everything and leaves people running frantic.
Just 80 years ago there was the great depression that had most grasshoppers eaten by the starving people that couldn't get food anywhere else. It is ridiculous to think that everything will stay as nice as it is now.
In fact, that would be an ignorant thing to think, how is it possible that now all of a sudden everything is impenetrable or unbreakable? Actually with the country of America in the state it's in, catastrophe is closer than many would be willing to admit.
The nation stands on the brink of madness between financial collapse and trying to police the world. It is time to rethink your security.
If you think you are safe it is time that you second guess yourself. These days you can never be too safe unless you have an underground layer and radars to measure the happenings up on the earth's surface.
Realistically, most people are not going to be able to afford a comfortable underground layer. So what you should do is just stock up on some good food storage.
Try to get a diversity of wheat, rice and maybe some honey for flavor. That would be the best thing to do when the nation starts to collapse among the calamity of a third world war.
Good luck, be prepared, and do not allow yourself to be like the lazy grasshopper that just plays his lute all day. Unless, of course, you play the lute professionally then that is a different case.
