Dear Friends of the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha,
As we may have guessed, we are not all going to be, in this very moment, lifetime or other indications, capable of giving up...
For example I am:
Maybe it is time to give up extraordinary and be just so?
Iz plan! Maybe will give it up...

I have three elders in my family (mother, aunt, father) for whom I function as a kind of tech-support. I've been trying to get them to use Uber for a while now, since it's much cheaper than the local old-school taxi. I've also been trying to normalize using a taxi when in need, since two of them have very bad knees and one of them is old, and since none of us has a car. My mother just told me that all three of them are in an Uber together and are very pleased with the service and cost. My mother seems to be the "early adopter" I need to aim to convince first. Great success!
I think I may have to give up swearing at technology...

A practical farmer rotates crops and has a small area for herbs and for flowers. A practical man knows the value of the roses, of a place to gaze upon serene beauty, such a man will keep the roses.
A hungry man may forget.
A greedy man has never known.
Peace to all
