The abundance of choices, freedoms, material things, (social media) friends, knowledge, medical provisions, safety devices, and religious truths ought to assure a life full of blessings and happiness.  Compared to previous generations, we are living in the age of abundance, yet a look below the surface of human aspiration suggests we have fallen under a collective spell more accurately labeled “The Illusion of Abundance.”  Time to wake up. Time to look for abundant blessings in a different reality.
