Hey all,
soooo.... coronavirus! people are getting kinda crazy. I've been feeling a little frustrated with people's nonchalance about it.
someone whom I love dearly and also happen to live with is going out all day. she's got a couple things to do which I understand need to be done, i.e going to her school and grabbing some things, mailing in a ballot. however, she's decided that she is going to stay at school for a while and work on a project (the buildings at her school close tomorrow.)
see... i understand the cleaning up, getting some things, dropping something in the mail box. but..... I just feel frustrated that she think it's okay to be out and about right now? I mean, she's just going to be in one building. a teacher and a student at her school were confirmed for the virus and it's just like.... idk..
I feel frustrated that people in general can't seem to handle inconveniences right now. It's just ridiculous to me. I get it, we've been conditioned in this way. but just... ugh
I expressed my annoyance/frustrated before she left. i didn't really go about it in a balanced way. i didn't yell or degrade her or anything. I just told her I think it's irresponsible, ignorant, and selfish to be going out right now and i'm disappointed that she thinks it's okay. we went back and forth for 30 seconds before she left
i'm having trouble balancing love and wisdom in this situation. can anyone help me out? it is so upsetting to me that people are just going about their business because they dont want to be inconvenienced, and in doing so are putting lives at risk.... this isn't a minor thing to me, it's life or death for a lot of people and i am just having trouble taking it anything less than deadly serious....
ahhhh... the times... they are... a- changin...... help?
thanks all
