So the MECQ rolled out last weekend sending people in craze to run to freshly opened malls, Whatever happened to “going out just to buy essentials”?
“Humans are social beings.”
Yet all we could do when meeting with friends or colleagues is to check on the watches or our mobile phones.
Did the quarantine warrants us safety despite the lack of mass testing? Or did it only caused us incommensurate forms of anxiety? That feeling as if the world ended mid March and you got trapped with no way out? Or with a way out but someone powerful calls the shot for you?
There is no blaming of people acting like doves who were freed from cages after this quarantine. The flight like behavior is the more preferred response than its counterpart because people in the fighting stance are harder to combat. The fighters will never stop but the flighters will get tired and go home to rest and wake up for another day in their hamster wheels. Who cares about getting tired if you’re entertained the whole day?
Meanwhile, here I am trying to put up this post while the kids are busy with daily 30-min screen time.
