Host: So what do you think? What if you lost all your possessions what would you do?

Guest: The question you ask me is my past situation. It is the reflection in the mirror. I have almost lost everything and more than once. I know you are trying to lead to the point that without steady income, however while inflation, recession and all other factors come in play that steady and secure really isn’t secure at all.

Host: Humor me. You have entertained us with many of your theories thus far. Why stop now! (giving the guest a challenging face)

Guest: No way no how am I going to let it stay like this, Like ICT – Makavenna said in her song Can U See Me Now. On one hand possessions are just things that sometimes don’t get touched or looked at once they have served their purpose. On the other hand, if there are possessions we need to survive and achieve goals, losing them creates a drive to get back what you had or manifest something else.

Host: Interesting. (giving him a sarcastic look) Do carry on.

Guest: I have lost almost everything including my life, but I am still here. I have currently came back from losing a car and shop to do business out of, along with many other possessions. I bounced back. Somehow I continue pushing forward. With all the beatings physically and mentally that I have received through the years, I am not crawling under a rock. I still stand strong.

Host: So how is this a reflection in the mirror?

Guest: What are you afraid of? Reflection is in the mirror. What you see inside is what you see outside. So what are you afraid of?

Host: I am not following.

Guest: You asking me as if suddenly I will have been struck with reason to your belief that everyone is supposed to have a regular job to be successful. I’ve been through several instances where I have almost lost everything but carried on. How about you?

What would you do if you lost all your possessions?

Like the series Revolution. Would you be ready?

Host: A total blackout like the pilot clip from the series Revolution The Blackout. Wow that is an intense scenario. Let’s not let that happen. Yeah!

Guest: You asked the question. I am just asking it back. Because I have not ignored such possibilities. You think law and structure as we know it would still exist after a total blackout?

If you have never lived through days without electricity. Days without running water. Days without technology. Would you break down when the system breaks down? There are people waiting for this moment to happen. Waiting to turn the streets to a Gotham.

Let’s not manifest that kind of life but acknowledge that all possessions can be lost and what then?

Host: This is where we unite as a species and help each other survive. One way or another humanity will survive.
