Restricted

They call this restricted living....this is not living! We did not evolve for centuries to live like this and feel like this is normal. I am frustrated immensely by those who act like this is perfectly fine and that they are infact enjoying life more than ever before. Perhaps that is a facade to try and hide their own fears. Or perhaps the onset of some delusion!

We have all willingly and happily given away freedoms that took centuries to gain....without any clarity of whether we will get them back and that is a scary thought. Freedoms that were cherished and precious till a few months ago are now happily scrapped for "the greater good". Everyone seems to be okay with this for now and resigned to relying on handouts for the forseeable future. Have we thought what happens if even half the jobs lost over the last few months cannot be brought back? The economic horror of that will far exceed anything we saw back in 1929.

Maybe I am thinking too much! Maybe it's the fact that I do not like to be told what to do. I still find my escapes, as small as they may be but they still provide a breath of fresh air.
