My FOREVER® account is most definitely a joy-bringer in my life, and I want yours to serve you in the same way.
But, there’s more to life than joy, and that’s important.
If I want my children to truly know me – the convictions and priorities, the values and moral positions – I need to find ways to convey that to them.
Enter: FOREVER® Storage.
Of course, we have conversations. We watch the news and discuss it. We listen to the sermons and talk about applying them to our lives. We hear our friends and family share opinions and have more conversation at home, around the safety of our own family room where opinions, no matter how unpopular, can be shared. Where we applaud and advise efforts to formulate individual opinions.
But with FOREVER® Storage, we can collect information, facts, opinions from the entire spectrum.
We can write descriptions in the files we collect detailing our reactions and our thoughts on the matter. We can write blog-style pontifications or poems, save them as PDFs and load them into the account. We can record narrations or video of our thoughts.
And so, I encourage you to create an album for “SOCIAL ISSUES.” Create nested albums for major social issues and save the memes and news articles, op-eds, your own writing, your families’ opinions.
My “Social Issues, United States, from 2020” is public. It contains nested albums by date, for example:
- 2020 Black Lives Matter
- 2020 US Elections
- 2020 Pandemic, CoVID-19
- 2021 Politics
- 2022 Guns & Schools
- 2022 War in Ukraine
I have other social issues contained within my account – pre-dating 2020 when I added this aspect of preserving my story to my task list. I’ll eventually move them here. They are topics like faith, child custody, and more on politics. There is ALWAYS more on politics.
If you are saving screenshots from the internet, or phone pix of printed articles, even PDFs you’ve saved, they are very small files, and so do not take a huge amount of your purchased storage. You can add endlessly to the descriptions – counter the positions you disagree with; defend the ones you support; offer explanations and further resources that have brought you to your position.
I’d like to hear from you – what current or historical social issues are you tracking? Have you added them to your FOREVER® storage? I encourage you to designate a few gigabytes for this purpose.
Another plus – by pouring my thoughts into permanently preserved files in my storage account, I am much more likely to avoid posting them on social media. So, there’s that!
