Some of us didn&#8217;t make it through &#8211; some of us still may not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve got no words of wisdom for what happened and I&#8217;m not going to make any jokes about what may still happen. I have no idea how to get through any of this except to keep on living. Keep on living the way you want to . . . sort of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I, and my immediate family, chose to wear masks and stay inside as much as possible. If you chose not to do that . . . that&#8217;s on you. Whatever. I just don&#8217;t want you getting me sick but then I guess that&#8217;s back on me. Whether you believe in the virus or not &#8211; that&#8217;s also on you . . . and I guess back on me, again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am not even certain I have a right to say you should listen to me about raising your children correctly or getting punished for what they do wrong . . . but . . . but, I sort of do. The reason? My children don&#8217;t kill anybody. On the other hand &#8211; none of my family gave anyone the coronavirus either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MY THOUGHTS:<\/strong> Okay, here we go . . . <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If my children kill anyone and it was a criminal act &#8211; I should get punished alongside them: I should go through Re-Association with them. (What is Re-Association? Read the book.) <strong>Fine:<\/strong> What about COVID-19?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My thoughts on that are a little different (but not really): If you, or someone because of you, catch COVID &#8211; AND YOU DON&#8217;T WEAR A MASK OR DON&#8217;T SOCIAL DISTANCE . . . you pay your own medical bills, insurance won&#8217;t cover you. How will we know if you did wrong? At all times we should have been giving out tickets and getting photos and taking identification of people who didn&#8217;t follow the rules (if there were rules where you lived). I proposed this to the governor of the State of Illinois but I guess he thought it was too draconian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In any case, what this comes down to through my brain is people being responsible for what they do in life . . . and that starts with BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CHILD YOU MAKE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know COVID isn&#8217;t over yet but I think we can start a discussion on other ways to die in the near future so I open our <em><strong>Blame and Punish<\/strong><\/em> conversation for you to join.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, &#8220;Be safe.&#8221; (And that really doesn&#8217;t just mean from a virus.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"blcomm\">__<strong>_ Comments Below _<\/strong>__<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The COVID-19 time of our lives threw us all for a loop.
