Free

The scariest part of all of the conspiracy laden discussions about the pandemic and the protocols put in place, is that it shows that people are much more likely to find credible the ideas that appeal to their deep-rooted fears, however irrational those fears may be. They will use their anger and their impatience to wind up agreeing with solutions that are horrifying, and use that same anger as proof of their certainty. Unfortunately, anger does not make your point more valid. Neither does impatience make your solution expedient nor virtuous. You are children whining because they have been told no, claiming rights and freedoms are being taken away. You are free to have your opinion. It does not make it valid. You are free to do whatever you wish with your own body. You are not therefore entitled to endanger others with that so-called freedom. You value only absolute freedom, which has you free of any responsibility, any liability. I prefer the freedom of choice, and I choose to do what is safest for the majority of people. What is truly mine, my freedom of choice, can’t be taken away by anyone. Your freedom is so easily threatened by asking you to be considerate and conscientious. Do not pretend to be more enlightened than the masses, while behaving like a sociopath. No one is convinced.
