Another Sign of Affluence Blinding

Outside it’s hot and muggy.
All I want to do
Is open Word and write,
while sitting in my air conditioned living room.
I’d be miserable outside
because of the heat.
I’m miserable inside
because my laptop drags.
Would I prefer to suffer in the humidity outside
or work in my home with cooling central air?
Oh, please.
What a ridiculous dilemma of affluence.
I am too spoiled in this land of milk & honey.
How can I even come close to calling this misery?
Forgive me, Lord.
And, thank you for giving me so very much.
