WE ARE SICK OF IT
 
My heart is broken.
If you think wearing a mask should be MANDATORY, shame.
There is absolutely nothing in this world that should be forced upon anyone.
That is the definition of loss of freedom.
YOU stay home if you want to live in fear.
Don’t punish those who choose to LIVE.
PEOPLE WHO DON’T THINK LIKE YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SUFFER TO MAKE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE OR SAFER.
My kids can’t even live.
I’m too scared to take them to the pool in fear I’ll have to show my butt if they get into trouble for not social distancing, for simply being a KID.
NOTHING ADDS UP.
NOTHING MAKES SENSE.
I would straight pass OUT if I had to wear a mask, no way in the world could I or would I.
It just saddens me, truly and deeply, that people are judging those who choose not to live in fear. Especially Christians.
CHRISTIANS.
If we are pointing fingers and judging anyone who doesn’t think like us, now that doesn’t show the love of God, now does it?
I won’t judge you for the choices you make.
You have every right.
I will speak my truths.
I think that’s been made known.
But I won’t force them upon you.
Please, stop acting like you know everything because it’s what the news said or what the governor said, etc.
You do what YOU believe is best and I’ll do what I believe is best.
If you feel like you’re saving everyone around you with that mask, you go right ahead... but step down off that pedestal.
You do NOT know the virus was spread by lack of mask-wearing.
You do NOT know who spread it.
You do NOT know that the numbers aren’t false positives. (Trust me, there’s a lot of those.)
You don’t even care to do enough research to know the VENTS ARE WHAT IS KILLING PEOPLE!!
You just want to believe what you’re told.
You’re acting self-righteous because you’re falling in line and blindly doing what they say.
PROPAGANDA.
Look it up.
COGNITIVE DISSONANCE.
Look it up.
You have zero right to say I lack compassion or empathy when it comes to the choices that I make, or that I don’t care about human life.
Do NOT go there.
I will not go on a guilt-trip.
My heart is hurting seeing all the judgment.
Knowing most of it is towards people like me...
I am SICK of people stepping away from me because I’m too close.
I am SICK of being glared at because I don’t have a mask on.
I am SICK of people dodging my fingers as they take my debit card as if they’re touching the nastiest thing they’ve ever seen.
I AM SICK OF IT.
Heaven forbid I enter the WRONG WAY in the aisle at Walmart.
Sheesh.
THE CORONA IS PATENTED.
That should tell you ALL you need to know.
You go ahead and get va((inated and chipped.
I’ll watch.
Survival rate is HIGH.
Higher than MOST diseases.
YOU JUST DON’T HEAR ABOUT THOSE.
You weren’t told to fear those.
You weren’t told to wear a mask for those.
You weren’t told to social distance for those.
Good gracious.
Jesus, be with us.
UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL.
We are nowhere NEAR united. ??
Heartbroken.
Christians.
STEP UP.
Where is that faith you claim to have?!
I’m sorry, guys.
I’m angry.
I’m hurting.
I’m feeling lost.
The virus doesn’t scare me.
The lack of humanity, faith, and basic common sense is what scares me.
All I can do is pray with everything in me and put it in God’s hand and continue down the path He has me on. I encourage all Christians do the same.
