Doing the right thing

Crow

At this moment in time in lock down there are those that are not following the government guide lines. 

My neighbours have their family visit & at times have they have had eight visitors in one day & social distancing hasn’t been exactly followed. Their court yard garden has three other small to medium gardens backing on to theirs including mine without solid fencing in between us.

 I’ve become very stressed, anxious & as I’m shielded too. 

However I have a thing about following rules, honesty, considerate behaviour & such like. I want to say to these neighbours of mine about their irresponsible behaviour, also the science of the corona virus & how it can contaminate others etc.

 Every day I upset myself by constantly thinking about this. I know I’m looping. But i know if I say anything to my neighbours as I have done in the past about their barking dogs they do nothing about it. I did say also a few years ago i had Aspergers & the woman laughed at me. 

I’m sad as I feel as though I have no voice & im disrespected. However my husband & myself are doing the right thing & so are many others. 

Sorry all...i’ve Just had a rant & sorry as I sound very self righteous. But the corona virus is a killer & very very real. 

My question how to let go of my obsessive thoughts of righteousness. Because at the end of the day it’s my ego saying this to me.

  • You are not in the wrong for being upset that your neighbors are clearly disregarding all health and safety recommendations. In fact, I'm fairly certain that until very recently, it was the LAW to stay two metres apart and not congregate, at all.

    Personally, if I'm that concerned and feel my neighbors are not ones to respectfully listen, which it sounds like yours are not, I would get onto the ode Bill. You can email them nowadays with non urgent stuff like this. They should call you back and may pay your neighbors a visit to remind them of the rules. You could make it clear to them that you want to stay anonymous. Hopefully, it would help to get them to think twice.

    I hope your a me to relax a little, at least they are not near you or entering your garden or home. Continue to stay safe, and be strong.
