| > Call me a monster but I want my daughter to know a world much more similar to what I knew 2 years ago I think you have your causality mixed up a bit. When I was younger I would take my coat off in the cold early spring to protest the fact that it hadn't warmed up enough, and, mostly in jest, insist that it was taking your coat off that harked warmer weather (when obviously the reverse is true). In this case you are trying to do this same with masks, hasten the end of something you don't like by pretending it isn't happening. Unfortunately this ultimately makes a worse world for the both of you. You obviously aren't the "monster", the monster is the thing that scares you so much you lose all reason, and confuse your causal arrows so much. It's unfortunate that the world is in a state of decline right now, and I understand wanting to turn it back. But like all people who have tried to stop change by resisting you only ultimately end up making it worse. It's because you can't accept the way the world is changing that it will progress this way faster. |
