With the world in chaos panic mode I have been blessed with a period of time where there is absolutely no means for social interaction. Social anxiety alleviation. I know it may seem a little insensitive to brush aside the current pandemic, but I think it is okay to show yourself some love by relieving your mind from the stressful predicament this world finds itself in.
I mean why should you carry the world’s burden on your shoulders. Stress derives from pondering on events made by the figment of your imagination. Relax, you can do no more than staying home to not facilitate the spread of this parasite virus.
This isn’t a self-development article by someone embodying a Jesus reincarnate like Russell Brand. But in fact I have just one piece of advice for you, drink a cup of concrete and harden up!! During WWII, British civilians were taking down street signs to make it difficult for Germans to navigate around in the likely event of an invasion.
By Germans I refer to Nazi killing machines. For the British it seemed like their world is going to end. But guess what the earth caters for the lives of millions of other species you self-centred human. You can bet your last drop of hand sanitiser that the sun will come up when it’s all over.
The world has seen darker days, I think we’re lucky that we are sharing hand sanitizers and not weaponry. This isn’t that bad, we can make the best out of this situation by using this time away from work to catch up with your parents, partners and children.
Or perhaps catch up on old hobbies, start new hobbies, watch movies and you know live a little. We’re stronger than the virus however if we act as if we're conceding defeat then our minds will surrender and let the virus decay our lungs.
Before I leave you to be in fear again, let me tell you something. You know why a news story on TV is a compilation of short 5 second videos of a politicians and reporters only saying things like “we’re doing the best we can”, “This will help all Australians”, “Please stay home” and my favourite “ the worst is yet to come”? Because news broadcasters know that most viewers only have a 5 second attention span.
Constant change ensures that you idiots do not lose interest and change channels. The more viewers tuning in means the more advertising revenue they generate. To them you’re a goldfish.
You’re better than that, your parents are proud of you, your children are proud of you. If you’re anxious over catching the virus and it is severely impacting your mental health then please find comfort in your own home and rest assured that the virus has no chance of getting to you in isolation, it’s not going to happen so stop dwelling on it. For the rest of you peasants, “we are doing the best we can”.
