Like Monasteries on a Hill

Or "Bastions of survival worldwide"

I was thinking lately about those of us worldwide who still have the financial, mental, emotional and physical health to be okay for now, or at least the next 5 to 10 years time.

I was thinking of the two terms either or both of which you all might relate to in regard to what we are worldwide. We are the places of last resort for all our friends and relatives on all levels. We are the people who are called for help in emergencies. We are the ones who will carry (at least for now) the burden for those of our friends and relatives who have not or might not make it in one way or another through these very difficult times. And whether your core is strengthened by religion, or philosophy or whatever it is we are capable of going on when many cannot or will not.

So, we all stand worldwide as bastions of survival worldwide. Or if you prefer "Like Monasteries of Hope" all over the world. Those who survive the coming years will survive partly because they know we are there for them. And some day hopefully they will survive to take our places to be their own " Monasteries of Hope" and/or "Bastions of human survival worldwide".
