31. Everything matters, including each breath we take in
Sun Dec 19, 2021, 11:29 PM
Dec 2021

but obviously all matters do not have same criticality.
Death is more critical than mere hospitalization.
Hospitalization is more critical than mild symptoms.
Mild symptoms are more critical than no symptoms.

Just have to pay attention to level of criticality.
Not everything in life is critical.

Many more people are still dying from heart attacks than recent rate of covid deaths.
But we keep eating non-healthy foods in excess and avoid exercise.
That to me is more critical than asymptomatic covid infection.
