Post lockdown life

I think this is a case of using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut.

I enjoyed the first two weeks of home detention (way back in April 2021). I felt a certain amount of comfort in being confined to my home, but that's because I have a home, and it's quite comfortable with a nice garden, my health was good—and I was financially well off. I'm also used to spending a lot of time by myself with my hobbies so that keep me busy and fulfilled.

Sadly, not everyone had the same privilleges as I have.  For me, it felt a little holiday. And who doesn't like a holiday, right?

Can you elaborate?

If life was more evened out,we wouldn't feel a need for a holiday.

As a Christian, I have to anticipate, and embrace, oppression. Grace will prevail, in the end.

Money must be our servant, not our master.

Yes, I can.

Depriving the entire population of the world the basic human freedom to leave their homes, meet with other human beings, visit their dying relatives, attend the celebrations of loved ones, exercise their right to earn a living, receive basic health care... that is the very large sledgehammer... leading a balanced, healthier life is the nutshell.

Peace begins within, not without. No matter how many times humans have tried to restructure their outward world (usually involving committing grave injustices against one another and unspeakable atrocities along the way), none of the have succeeded.

There is no problem out there that didn't or does't emanate from inside us; our experience of the world is merely our collective psychosis as a race reflected back at us.
