Slightly Under House Arrest day 146

I was thinking today, I know, dangerous right? Since March we have a new vocabulary Social distancing, track and trace, pre-COVID, self-isolation, lockdown, generation COVID. Simple things take priority now like masks hand sanitizer perspex shields and feet marks on the floor ( that people ignore) all things that this time last year we wouldn't thought about. 

I said during lockdown that I thought society was breaking down, I now think it was already broken. This pandemic has just highlighted people's self-absorption, their lack of common sense and ignorance. I am at a loss to know where we will end up. Everyone thinks they are a special case, deserving more than the next person. The need for material things is an obsession. I was hopeful at the beginning of this century that we would all be a little more enlightened, maybe even spiritual ( and that has bugger all to do with religion) and judging by all the inspirational quotes and memes that people post on their timelines you would think they were. But sadly, not. People post without really reading them, or pay lip service to the idea of being more thoughtful, kind, considerate etc, but they don't do it. They rush about with every man for themselves as their motto. You do meet some who are gentle, kind and humane, but mainly these people are trodden underfoot by the "me first" entitled generation. 

And there you have it, my rant if you will, after a weekend of observing the general public... Have a good week...
