What was your low point of the pandemic?

[John Ludi]

6. My

lowest point was the realization that I had been correct all along that an enormous amount of people are wholly incapable of coping with any level of adversity whatsoever and that they will jump down whatever rabbit hole confirms their selfish instincts...and that an even more serious crises will probably wipe most of us out.

I pretty much figured all that out as a kid, but to see my darker-than-dark cynicism confirmed so fully and so blatantly over the past year has been about the most demoralizing thing I've dealt with in this fucked-up world thus far...and I've dealt with some serious shit over the decades.
