I could not agree with you more KML and have been saying as much for the last 15 months now. But you can't have it both ways!!! It can't be "Live your life [as every day could be your last]" followed by don't visit family, don't hug loved ones, don't celebrate weddings or funerals or pretty much anything else, don't travel, don't go to concerts, don't go to sporting events, don't don't don't - instead of living your life, stay in your house where it's "safe" and don't go out or be with anyone else unless it's a life and death situation... oh but live your lives!
I'm hard pressed to find a bigger contradiction to this statement than what we have "lived" the past 18 months (until about three months ago). It just can't be both ways. What we need is balance. Certainly don't take unnecessary risks but the craziness that has been perpetuated on us has advocated anything but living our lives to the fullest. Sadly, many have giving up much of their lives, time they can never get back.
Sorry, I just could not help but to call out this huge contradiction. But, I very much agree, and always have - LIVE YOUR LIVES!!! -
