That’s all we hear from all our politicians these days. Fear is the capital that buys them votes.
“Be Afraid”
“Build a Wall”
“The Russians are going to start WWIII. “The Chinese are unleashing viruses”
“The spooky liberals, (You know, those evil radical mutants that think the rich should pay taxes like everyone else and government should be concerned with all citizens), are going to take over and we will become socialists!”
“Vote for us, fascism is a much better option!”
News Flash! If you think buying into the fear-mongering by voting for some gun-toting slime bag that wants to ban books and control women’s bodies will make you feel any safer, you are wrong. Fear breeds greater fear. You need to take a lesson from Sara Bareilles and show us “How big your brave is.” (Is she really referring to brave when asking about size?). Making the conscious decision to resist fear is a personal choice.
I love movies yet it has been over three years since I have been in a movie theater. I know many see them as a super-spreader of the virus or a gathering spot for mass-shooter victims, but I think we all need to make the decision to get back to normal; be brave, venture out to the movie theaters and then stop for a frozen yogurt (with sprinkles)!
You will let me how that goes, right?
