Life never stays static. Last year, 2020, was quite different and in my opinion unlike any that had come before it. The pandemic has changed human interaction. Two weeks to slow the spread turned into government overreach that seems never ending.
Now a year later, people are uneasy. Some are fatigued by social distancing, mask wearing and the whole thing. Some are afraid of everyone and are basically hermits trapped in their homes. Somewhere in the middle resides most people.
It is here in the middle that most of us think we exist but the truth is we travel from pole to pole in our thinking sometimes in a matter of minutes.
Conversations about who has it or who “may have it” devolve into political beliefs. One side decries follow the science while the other points out how the “science” has been flopping around like a fish out of water.
The change in thinking from innocent until proven guilty is where the rubber meets the road. Now, everyone is viewed with suspicion. Stay away from people. This goes against how we interact with each other.
Some will take the vaccine. Some may and some will never take it. Herd immunity is just over the horizon. Is it? Is this virus here with us like the flu? A yearly booster shot?
I think what disturbs me the most is the realization that the government and the experts who we rely on are only looking out for their power over us citizens. Their lust for control over our daily life is never ending.
What say you?
