RE: Darker Moods: A Death in the Family, Cult of Cowardice, Bowing to Gods and Kings

in #philosophy4 years ago (edited)

Thank you and I'm sorry for your loss.

We are having similar issues with family trying to travel to town for his funeral service. This area is said to be rather hard hit at the moment (I honestly can't tell the difference) We decided to do something very small with the immediate family who all live near by but his military honors and memorial will have to wait for a few months.

I think a lot of people are starting to feel as we do but I still see the cult-like people every day at work. They will forget their mask in their car or something. I will tell them that its fine and that I'll still serve them but they almost always run out to get it anyway as though they are committing some kind of sin that will follow them even if they don't get caught by some cop who is board enough to bother to write him a ticket. At times it's comical but I feel like it has be causing some kind of psychological damage to people and trains them to default to a position of compliance (which I don't see as positive).

Sort:  

I hope the send off is a good celebration of his life and the family gain the closure they need. It's a shame the military honours/memorial can't be effected although I suppose we all have to comply with the situation; I don't think it will mean any less for being a little delayed.

Comical is a good way to describe it; Debacle also I guess. If it wasn't happening to us it would almost make for a good comedy skit at times...All the Corona-Chan shenanigans. We just have to grin and bear it though, get through it the best we can...I've lost my patience at times and then there's the emotional effects of it all...A challenging 2020.

I was chatting to a friend today, about all those people who made new years resolutions on 31 Dec 2019...I wonder how they may be going; Shit I'd say. I also wonder how they'll amend them this year. Lol.

Oh well...We'll get through it, hopefully with little lasting effects; That's what I like to think anyway.

Have a good weekend. :)

"It would almost make for a good comedy skit at times"

Haha I suspect we will see that in time, after everyone gets past this panic. I'll look forward to it.

Likewise.
