Today, something made me thinking... ...

"Never was so much owed by so many to so few" was a wartime speech made by the British prime minister Winston Churchill on 20 August 1940, a salutation to RAF(Royal Air Force) crews during the Battle of Britain, a pivotal point of WWII. 

Today, Churchill's words shall go to all the frontline medical staffs at this global pandemic time to praise their contribution and sacrifices.

 

As God's creation among all other creatures we are called human being. By being means well-being is our primary task. Given the privilege of top intelligence on the earth human race has started dominating since first appearing.    Sadly, the paramount of individuals, nations, even the entire human race is to have.  How many of us would put well-being ahead of well-having?   The more having we crave the less being we would  care.  For the sake of our nature, we should be called human having instead of human being.
