The hard part will be putting up with the narcissistic virtue signaling concern trolls swanning around with their new diagnosis. Gag.

“Everyone is dealing with their pandemic year through a process very similar to the stages of grief, said Dr. Vivian Pender, president of the American Psychiatric Association.

During the past year, people have felt protest and shock and denial regarding the pandemic’s many impacts on their lives, Pender said, and some now are moving forward with acceptance and reconciliation.

“That’s, I think, happening to everyone. For those who have acknowledged that this has gone on, there’s still been a tremendous loss — loss of their way of life, loss or at least change at work, and change or loss of relationships as well,” Pender said.”

Not everyone, Pender. I never stopped going out to eat, never stopped maskless family gatherings, never wore a mask outdoors.

The saddest part is it showed just how many sheeple there are, everywhere

that is, how many people are gullible and easily-controlled by Media propaganda ... how many don’t have common sense and can’t see that they’re being played ... and this crisis showed that there are LOTS

now that’s scary

Me neither. The only grief I experiences was watching a nation of freaking sheep hand over their freedom so that China and their willing accomplice congressmen and governors could crush our economy and rid the world of Trump.

What I find unsettling is the number of people still clinging to wearing the mask. I get some should wear one but the shear number of those unwilling to shed the face diaper is disturbing.

Yup. These people are weak simpletons. They gave up their freedom to a bunch of dopey politicians, and now they’re confused and shiftless when they’re allowed to be normal, free Americans. It’s pathetic.

"While I am glad you are strong, we must have some degree of compassion for others who may be struggling."

God helps those that help themselves. If they want compassion, then they should embrace the Lord, and ask him to give them the strength to go on, after they bought into all the bullshit.

I gave them their two weeks.

And then I returned to normal.

Gee, that is funny, my understanding of the faith is to love one another. I find it a little sad that if you profess to be faithful that you are incapable of loving as Christ as loved us.

Something to think about.

Went two places today without a mask.
People seemed so happy to see me.

Something to think about. I don't have to love, nor have compassion for the Nazis who are running our government, nor their putrid followers who will be suffering from the PTSD they brought on themselves. The Lord works in strange ways. Maybe their torment is their punishment for their unending wickedness. One can only hope.

The unsettling part was having to accept that I live among so many sheeple desperate to lick the boots of those that would beat them. Up until the Scamdemic I stupidly believed people were victims of oppressive regimes, not understanding that so many beg to be slapped around.

I need to relocate among adults. I'm on the edge of an urban area and urbanization breeds infantilism.

“You have heard that it was said, Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in Heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get?”

Matthew 5:43 - 46

Perhaps you would like to reconsider your words after marking and inwardly digesting the words of the Savior.

Just wait til they close us all down again with the inevitable variants. This so called return to normal is merely temporary.

Thanks for the religious lesson, but I’ll take it up with the man upstairs when my time has come. He’s the one who will judge me. No one else.

And yet you judge others. I will pray that you to open your heart to the discernment of the Holy Scripture that you may follow the word of our Savior.

Peace.

I didn’t ask you to pray for me, so please don’t. I can talk to the Lord any time I want. Go help someone who actually needs help, like one of those helpless lefties who has hated God their whole life.

We’ve seen glimpses of it here and there in the past, but the days of Idiocracy have now fully arrived.
