What is sad, is that fear of getting sick even involves others telling you that you dont care about them, if you dont get a flu shot, covid test, wear a mask, pick your poison. And if you mention, that we shouldnt live in fear, they resolutely deny they are fearful, wh.en its obvious they are either fearful or just controlling, both bad things. A lady I know that I spend some time with pretty often, asked me if I was going to take a flu vaccine. I told her no, because I rarely get the flu, and often (not always though) do get sick after a flu shot (when I am told this should not happen, and those telling me this have only repeated what they have been told and dont really know). She asked "What about me? If you give it to me, I might die from it, dont you care about me?". I of course rolled my eyes, and told her "Yes, you can see from knowing me all these years, that I dont care about you at all." After thinking about it, she finally replied, "Yes, I guess you do care about me, sorry."
With the vaccine still allowing many people to come down with the flu (to where its the biggest killer every year) even though they got the vaccine, and supposedly if the vaccine worked, she wouldnt have to worry about it (she gets the shot every year), even if I did, and not taking into account that if I did get it, I would avoid her anyways like any normal respectful person. Fear is like that, it creeps up on you and when it has you in its grips, you will often refuse to acknowlege it, sadly also out of fear. Logic and faith often go out the window when fear arrives, its very sad to see.
And when my doctors appointment came up several days later, the nurse asked me if I wanted a flu shot, and I said no, and that was fine with her. Then the doctor when he arrived asked me the same thing, and I said no, and he had this annoyed look. He knows my lady friend and I spend a lot of time together. So I explained that she gets the shot, because she is older and more likely to be more badly affected by the flu, but that I rarely ever get the flu. He also responded that maybe I should get it for her sake (as if the vaccine wouldnt work for her), this really surprised me, and I said "Do you really think so?", and he replied yes, that it was a bad year for flu. So now, if I didnt get it and she were to get badly sick from it, he would think it was my fault. Fear.... I could see it in his eyes, he didnt used to be like this, but its changed since all the fear the media puts out there. He didnt see it, he couldnt see the false logic of it, despite being a medical doctor, a logical man. So I took the shot, out of sadness of his fear and where he would lay the blame if this lady got sick.
Fear is running rampant all over, and people that are steepled in it, just dont see it.
