Jim: You Don’t Know What You’ve Got Till Its Gone

Anybody could have seen it coming but the changes were so subtle, and they happened so gradually, that nobody really noticed.

In retrospect, the statistics were obvious. Each year, there were more divorces than before. Children were abandoned in increasingly large numbers. The attendance at places of worship plummeted.

As the effects became more and more obvious, psychologists and sociologists argued about the cause. But these professionals were too intelligent – too sophisticated – to realize the truth.

Then it was over and suddenly everybody knew. We didn’t realize we had lost the capacity to love until it was gone for good.

I just wish I could have thought of some way to add Posh Spice to this story.
