Many go about their lives, unencumbered with any feeling of social responsibility, then feel justified in their carelessness at least partially protected by the Herculean efforts of others.
Not only are we carefully navigating a context foreign to us, sacrificially bearing a collective burden, we have to watch those efforts devalued by those who then pretend their carelessness is justified.
Were holding a societal umbrella in a downpour; theyre laughing and pretending its not raining because theyre not wet.
Its exhausting.....
