Six Feet and Under The Social Distance Bus

Dear Six Feet and Under The Bus


The short answer is no; you did absolutely nothing wrong and shouldn't feel bad. Look, nothing makes sense anymore. How could it? The problem is that most people are basing their opinions on the everchanging, conflicting information put in front of them instead of erring on the side of caution or relying on logic for protection. 

Whatever you decide is up to you. If someone tries to make you feel guilty for doing what you think is necessary to protect yourself and your family from an alleged deadly virus, then that is an entirely different conversation to have with your friend —but not now. If I were you, I would wait until things die down and people go back to being kind to one another before spilling that tea.

We are living in dangerous times. People are scared, confused, frustrated, angry, sad, and more self-righteous than they've ever been, so why rock the boat? Besides, forcing opinions on people DOES NOT WORK; all it does is end relationships by creating tension and unnecessary drama. It seems to me that the best way to handle COVID talks is to follow the advice of our third-grade teachers — Zip it, lock it, put it in your pocket. — and mind our own business.
