The other day we were visiting with some friends and had a conversation about how life have changed over the last couple/three years. It’s not just about how the pandemic has affected everyone, but maybe a combination of a whole number of things that seem to have contributed to the life we now know.
I am a people watcher, as well as an individual who does a lot of personal soul searching.
One thing I personally have noticed is that the level of individual happiness, contentment and general emotional wellbeing isn’t very visible anymore across the board. There are fewer smiles, more discontentment with everyone and everything, and a lot more complaining…people are just disgruntled with life and wear it on their sleeves.
I think that a large portion of the population have become accustomed to isolating themselves and do not partake in social outings with friends or even in public. We have become a recluse society.
In conversations, there seems to be less humour and less frivolity, but much more serious conversation around issues that are affecting our personal lives, workplaces, province and country, not to mention the chaos in the world around us that emotionally eats us up day after day.
There is so much propaganda in the mainline media, a person doesn’t know who to believe anymore because one group is always pitted against another and you need to pick sides. But if you decide that the popular and promoted conversation is biased, then maybe you should keep your comments to yourself and save yourself some heartache. It’s a sad state of affairs.
Have you noticed, too, that no one seems to want to work anymore? It seems that there is no commitment to find a job because the government seems to want everyone dependent on them and those that seem to have been born with the ‘lazy gene’ are just happy to live that way or maybe the environment has taught them to react as such.
At Science ABC website an article states, “While some may have a rare gene that reduces one’s will to be active, for others, laziness may be a learned response to the environment."
Another eye-opening read is about the world economic organization and the global reset they hope to implement by 2030. As it seems, we are like sheep being led to the slaughter.
So, after beefing about my disgruntlement, I am making a conscious decision to smile more and be happy despite the circumstances of life, live a life of no regrets and stick to my morals and beliefs no matter what.
My wellbeing depends on it.
