Covid has meant we now live our lives not wanting to judge others or be judged. Show people you care by talking to them.LET ME ask you this question: how many times have you seen something going on either on your street as you’ve been driving or something near your workplace and your first thoughts were “I better stay out of it and mind my own business?”
We see other people’s children acting up and our first thought of correcting them is nudged out of the way by a second thought of “mind your own” fearing the child or worse still, his or her parents telling you it’s none of your business. We forget to applaud the young man who is bringing up his family in a world where they say people like him neglect families. We’ve missed the opportunity to applaud the sister who is bravely fighting off cancer and other ailments because we’re very busy minding our own business.
So here’s a challenge to us – Covid has meant that we have got very comfortable with just us and our own pod, our own friends, our own space. Yes the world is opening up, yes people are going out but actually in our minds we have so enjoyed being by ourselves and not having to spend energy on anybody else.
