PAIN as attitude

Many significant matters in our personal lives, and that of the world, seem and are at the same time put on hold, as if in a freeze-frame of photography - as media, politicians and commercial medical providers overcrowd our attention to a virus we cannot even see. And in the rising din, underlying panic and ever changing positions generated by various parties in this on going circus, of how to best manage this c19, it seems to me that things can just be plucked from the air and covert intentions not fully disclosed to the public. There can be too much talk and too little meaningful action which brings results. Politicians change their directions increasingly to serve their survival, rather than the health of their voters. Medical bureaucrats can be under unstated pressure by the powers that employ them. There are increased concerns in the militarisation of the public management of this Coronavirus. The connundrum between choosing lockdowns or vaccinations is the latest dilemna faced by governments. Are vaccinations encouraged with creating a false positive sentiment as elections draw near? Why has there been no progress and communication by Big Pharmas in developing a treatment for c19? Canberra has made serious mistakes in over depending on only two types of vaccines - and looks like only going to over rely on Messenger RNa vaccines in the future. Several nations are beginning to stare c19 in the face, as they cannot maintain a zero tolerance approach in snuffing out c19. Movement restriction, if continued for too long, is increasingly impractical. Individually, each of us has to grab the proverbial bull by the horn and tame the beast . For around 18 months, no reassuring results have been achieved by those who rule us - if this was a Board and senior executive of a listed conpany, they all would been sacked at an extraordinary General Meeting. How I cope is to follow and implement the four principles of self preservation and personal development. P - Presence of positive spirit and mind is always good to be conscious of and practice. A - Agendas, good and bad, are to be discerned between the lines, exhortations and varying policies we are put up with. I - Intelligence, not Inoculations, is the primary tool we possess to counter this Delta spread. N - Negativity is to be avoided, so that we can maintain our own clarity and purpose in our journey amidst distractions, deflections and devastation. Oscar Wilde is reputedly quoted with " Suffering is nothing, when there is love." The suffering imposed on each of us, in this challenging time, is not accompanied with sufficient empathy, humaneness nor concern by the people and organisations we put in power to take care of us. So I say, "Suffering is nothing, especially when we just take more care of ourselves." And I am no Oscar Wilde. #yongkevthoughts
