Day 4
I feel tired with people. Or rather their bullcrap. When I walk down the street and see people not giving a thought about hygiene and simple rules I start wishing for all of them to catch that damn virus.
Does it make me a bad person? Probably. Do I adhere perfectly to the regulations? No. But I'm not stupid.
An example. Old lady walks down the street towards me. I walk by the side, half a feet to the left and I'd hit a building. The lady is to my right and has the entire sidewalk for herself. What does she do? But of course, she goes by me so close our elbows nearly touched. If I were carrier (and I might well be) I'd be dead in two weeks. She had like 3-4 meters of sidewalk and decided not only to walk in the middle and as close to me as possible.
I could give you more examples, more of what I've noticed than what I've experienced. I know people want to live their lives normally and so do I. But damn, people, use your brain.
My aunt a couple of days back was talking how all of these measures are pointless and stupid and started talking about tin foil hat conspiracy theories. I wanted to shout back at her how she'd be satisfied only when in every family someone would get sick and everybody knew someone who died, but my mom was there and I kept myself calm for respect to her alone.
And I start to wonder if it wouldn't give humanity something akin to wake up call if indeed everybody knew someone who caught that virus and died. Maybe people would start being humble and using their brains.
In the end I don't think I'm a bad person. I'm just tired with people and their mindlessness.

For not by numbers of men, nor by measure of body, but by valor of soul is war to be decided.
