A different take on life....

I was confused when I heard the word "service" used in these ways: telephone service; cable service; internet service; civil service; public service; customer service. This is not what I thought service meant. Then today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to service a few cows. BAM!!! It all came into focus. Now I understand what all those services are doing to us.

I had a similar reaction when airbnb came to Greece and we began using the word meant for hospitality to mean that you're getting paid to host. That word was -and is- a sacred word to us Greeks, philoxenia, and it literally means to be a friend of the foreigners. And now they using it for paid services. 🤑🤮
