What inventions have had the biggest impact on my life? This is a question I was recently posed and I didn’t have to think a lot about it before this answer I composed. I didn’t need to mull the question over… didn’t need to give it too much thought because I realized almost immediately The best inventions are the ones that can’t be bought. There are many inventions that make my life more effortless… that make it easier for me. There’s electricity, the light bulb, the phone the computer the car, the radio, running water and TV. I’m sure I’m leaving others out… I’m sure there are many more more inventions that make my life much easier than my ancestors who came before. But I’d like to thank whoever invented love and kindness and the capacity to care… whoever invented generosity, decency and the ability to share. Certainly man-made inventions have made my life easier but the invention of friendship, the invention of the smile…. the invention of love and kindness and caring… they have made my life worthwhile.
