Are you not entertained?

We love our freedom. We love that we can own guns, go to the shooting range and test them out. We love that we can drive from NYC to Los Ángeles without a problem. We can eat burgers everyday of the week. But when is enough actually enough? Over 200,000 Americans died of COVID and we are totally ignoring it. I just seen a college football game that allowed tons of fans into the field just because they won a game. But the irony is we are losing against the pandemic. LOSING. America is all about winning but we are letting our best interest get in the way. Listen, I do not want to stay home 24/7, 365 days this year but if we keep ignoring the FACTS — 2021 is going to be the worst year yet. We have been breaking records DAILY for new confirmed cases. People having large gatherings without wearing a mask. The NFL is letting fans into their stadium after the United States had a horrible week with Covid cases. The truth is as people we want to be entertained and feel like nothing is wrong because we want to feel all warm and secure inside. Hospitals are being overrun and their staff members are exhausted. But we don’t care, do we? The truth is we rather risk it all just for life pleasures. Honestly, it’s DISGUSTING. We do not care about other people’s health issues and that’s not what this experience is all about. Schools are struggling, small businesses are suffering but the government wants to look at election results instead of helping their people. It's getting ugly out here and bankruptcy for most people is a real thing. So because we can’t lean on them, we have to be more aware and thoughtful of our actions. We have to care about one another. European countries are starting to shut down again and we haven’t even discussed it yet. When will we learn we cannot live normal lives. We cannot live with the pandemic looming over us. This is not a rain storm that we can name and let it pass by. We have to confront it and make sure we can help the elderly and the people most at risk. No, i’m not a scientist and I do not have all the answers but I know whatever we’re doing now is not working. Our life is heading the wrong way. I know I want normalcy back but not at the expense of my grandparents. Not at the expense of my kids. What will it take for us to choose our lives instead of being entertained? Last thing I will say are the words of the GOAT Jay-Z…

“Survive the droughts? I wish you well? How sick am I? I wish you health. I wish you wheels, I wish you wealth. I wish you insight so you could see for yourself”

Peace and Love
