I just got my email that says my flight out west was cancelled. I am angry. I’m angry because I want to go out there and cannot. I’m angry because my freedoms and liberties are being oppressed because people can’t stop fucking breaking the rules of etiquette and the virus has spread at maximum speed(or so it seems since deaths have doubled in forty-eight hours.)
I’m angry because like any human, I want what I want, when I want it!! But I can’t have it because people say, “nah, I’m healthy and can handle cold symptoms.” Bullshit! You may be able to, but some of the world’s population (you know, NOT you) are not able to fight symptoms, therefore, their symptoms escalate and are leading to DEATHS.
I’m angry because when the world was more focused on a fucking basketball celebrity’s death- we knew about the virus (it was a smaller print next to the basketball players article) and continued our normal slob, selfish, and indulgent ways! Why didn’t our media and leaders (well, what passes for leaders, under the disguise of a politician) start working on a plan to implement, if the “rush was on” to create a vaccine. (Which is the headline for the article)
Why in gods name are we so fascinated with celebrities, tragedy, menacing, deviant, and the horrific-then post about wanting more hope, more love, more peace. Finding a cure and a vaccine would bring about hope, love, and peace. But instead, we believe the tragedy will allow us to feel better about our own life situations. (At least my life isn’t that bad)
Wrong. Improving your life through changing your circumstances by growing, learning, and making the world better is the only way to develop love, hope, and peace. Just comparing your life to others and being grateful it’s not you will cut it. Being grateful is fantastic. Gratitude is a wonderful motivator.
I can be grateful it’s not me or someone I love (YET) that has contracted the virus. With that gratitude I’m writing to say- stay HOME!!! I can also say that I’m grateful to still have a job and getting paid…at the same time, I’m not sure I’m an essential employee. I’m an essential human, but I’m being told what I do is essential. This will help keep normalcy and prevent greater problems.
Well if I’m dead my Little’s will have great big problems. I know what happens when kids grow up without one of their parents. Will they have support, sure, but it’s not the same. Especially, when all of this was preventable to a degree in which we did not make efforts to reduce spreading fast enough, and even now, we are leaving people to their own judgement about staying home in most states.
So now we keep seeing deaths, our medical professionals are getting ill and also dying…and our politicians (not all of them) are still focused on bipartisan bullshit versus pulling together for the greater mankind. Yeah yeah…I get the economy is important. That’s not at all what I’m saying, so don’t attack. I’m saying taking a step back from political agendas is something that needs to happen. BOTH sides. We need real leaders right now.
I’m sure I’ve ruffled a few feathers with some of what I have written. That’s ok. Because if I have ruffled your feathers and you target and focus on the political part of this blog and became defensive-you need to look at your heart. Then ask yourself, what is more important right now, preserving and saving mankind or your political affiliation feelings?
As we move forward it’s time to focus on saving lives and creating a world that is healthy. We can do that if we blame and throw punches at one another (no hot pocket in the world is worth a punch)…because amid all our chaos, enemies are launching shit into the sky and they are watching us. They’re watching our nation slowly rip apart. They are looking for weaknesses and strengths.
Stay home or stay away from people. Stop hoarding the supplies. Don’t travel. Don’t visit. Cherish your loved ones from afar. FaceTime, Zoom, Skype…”be sensible your not invincible.” ~WM~
