The Corona Excuse
The ongoing pandemic
The Coronavirus pandemic is still hasn't been declared over nor has it been declared to be an endemic as of yet.
And while it is true that we should still be careful and shouldn't let our guard down,
the world is this moving back towards some normalcy.
People are going back to work.
People are vacationing overseas.
Restaurants & Malls are open again.
THE World is Healing.
Still the old excuse
Still for many the pandemic is still an excuse for not doing their job.
If a flight gets cancel blame it on the pandemic,
If a deadline is missed blame it on the pandemic,
If an exam gets canceled blame it on the pandemic,
etc, etc, etc.
I can go on and on about what else is being blamed on the pandemic, but I feel you guys the readers can fill in better example that you are experiencing yourself.
In fact, I invite you to write your own examples in the comments below.
The collective excuse
It seems we has a species have came out of the crisis collectively as less efficient version of the society that we once were, not that we were any good to began with but the downward spiral of the human experience has become an accelerated decay.
The worst of the blame
We all know who are the worst offenders in this and I know most of you might be pointing that figure towards public servants, bureaucrats, politicians and the like,
But they are at the 2nd place
And the worst of he offender are you & me, Us the common people
It is us who take these excuses and stay quite, it is us that don't question.
Honestly we are to be blamed.
We give our phone number at grocery checkout and complain when we are bombarded with ad massages and calls.
We are afraid to say No to the cashier so that we are not called a "Karen".
We are to be blamed
Don't like something raise your voice, say something and don't be afraid to walk away.
Know when to stop.
Say no and if someone doesn't comply then leave.
If all of us start dong that then they will listen.
A single person walking out won't make a dent but a large group will hurt their quarterly reports.
If things are delayed or canceled then ask why
Don't be rude but ask why and if the reason is not good enough make your voice heard.
World is already in a spiral
With left wingers and conservatives turning everything into a racist agenda, we the common folks shouldn't just stay quite in order to be nice and civil. We should let thee left wingers know what do we think about them.
This isn't the time for that, that time has passed and being nice is no longer an option.
While we have the right and we have the voice, some are exercising theirs in the wrong way, thus the Karens of the world. Some are just feeling entitled without reason and then play the victim card in the end. SMH
