It’s a way to be proactive. Since we can’t fight this virus, we can certainly fight politics and put our 2 cents of opinion. Although this may all seem negative and argumentative; it’s actually giving people much needed social discourse and connection; “yes, I agree with you, we are now bonded through that, or no I don’t agree with you, but we are still all in this together.” In the end what it boils down to is this: no matter what your feelings are globally this is a shared experience. In talking politics, we alleviate (at last temporarily) a lot of our fears and anxieties as well as our pent-up anger. Either subconsciously or consciously, this political discourse shows us that we are all one in this crisis—no matter what our beliefs might be.
What is so rare and so amazing about this whole experience, is that we all have garnered a collective consciousness. We are all in this together, no matter what our beliefs, race, political ideations, financial status, etc.. The division among us that we have seen for so long is melting away, and the gap is closing. Our real salvation in all of this is the unity it has created, and our unprecedented ability to take action and work together. Yes, we are all separated at home, but in taking that necessary step simultaneously, we are now more unified then we have ever been. Momentarily, we are intrinsically connected, we are One, and THAT is a beautiful thing. This is something to be revered. This political discourse is beyond encouraging for our mental well-being. Maybe at the end of the day, that is what it’s all about. Maybe just maybe there is a greater plan at work here…..
