Pandemic - What I have learned


This so called “pandemic” has proven a few things about humanity to me.

Allow me to share:

1.        People tend to want what everyone else has.  Hoarding of toilet paper.  It seems it’s become a competition.  If someone makes jumping off a cliff seem cool or a necessity it appears that a multitude will blindly follow.

2.       People want what they can’t have. A mere suggested will send folks over the edge searching for something they can’t find.  Toilet paper sold out everywhere.  This reminds me of Christmas…a subliminal message from advertisers will send parents searching to the ends of the earth and sometimes paying more for that year’s “hot” toy.

3.        The media is using subliminal messages to retrain our thought process.  And people are falling for it.  These hot taglines are now being used by the public.  Up until now I avoid using these lines in my conversations, as I refuse to succumb to the “hot new trend”.  Lines like “Save lives, Stay home”, “Social Distancing” and the one I hate the most, “new normal”.   

4.       People will easily jump on the “bandwagon” without or little research of their own.

5.       Fear controls people.  If you never have understood why an abused woman stays in a relationship, you should now. 

If you didn’t believe in the power of the tongue to influence life and the atmosphere before, you should now, if not you haven’t been paying attention the human behavior. 

As always, the virus is real, stay safe, and take personal responsibility especially if you are high risk.
