I have been watching all over the news...people are busting out of quarantine. For weeks now we have all been locked up and kept away from our friends and our families. We are told that it is for the greater good. What about those people that are starting to lose it all? Is it seen as a necessary sacrifice for them to lose everything, because they are "doing their part" for the whole?
More and more I have been seeing people that are becoming more defiant and starting to go back to work. You can see exactly what the mindset is..... sure it felt like a long vacation at first, we all got to spend more time at home with our immediate family. We got to finish some long over due projects, and we even got a little money from the government....but what about now?
For many, the money is running out. It is no surprise that many people live paycheck to paycheck and are quickly running out. I have seen people that are having trouble actually receiving any sort of unemployment, and they don't have any other source of income.
I am starting to see more people going to beaches as well. I am not a doctor. I have no degree in anything even related to viruses. I only know humans, and I know my own experience. I know that we are free people, and we were created free. We are meant to be free, and are not meant to be locked in cages.
While some people call these quarantine breakers selfish, I call them free. There is a spirit inside of each of us and it drives us to being. Some may actually think that what they are doing is really truly helping others, and that is amazing. I hope they continue to wear masks and stay inside, and really live out their convictions. I fully support that, and would never say anything negative about that.
For the people that are choosing to move on with their lives...I understand that too. For my friends that are struggling with hungry kids, for the small businesses that are being forced to close, for the free people of the world that are done being told what to do, I support them too.
Not to sound calloused, but the world as we know it has ceased to exist because of this. Some lives are being changed and will never recover. I understand that there are people that are sick that won't die, but they will continue to be sick after this virus. I also understand that there are healthy people that are having their lives taken from them. In this world the only real thing of value that we have is our time....and our time is what is being taken away from us.
Be well.
