In advance; I am in a vulnerable state and I am asking for sincere council, please?
After talking with my boss about not wearing masks, I saw a side to all this I didn't know of before and now I'm torn in my heart about what's the right thing to do. My job has a much more clear solution due to conversing with my boss but my dentist is far different and I'm just in this position where I'm willing to leave and find another one but I do question if that's truly the solution God wants me to pursue or if (like my job) it is merely my poor attitude and haughtiness that keep me from seeing the bigger picture that these businesses are just as frustrated as me in that these aren't rules they want to enforce either. Much the same I witnessed at my job. My boss is the only thing standing between a mandatory vax and weekly tests. Her compromise to get the state off her back (we are a local agency) was to enforce some kind of mask restrictions to get them to leave her be. But she much confessed there is a lot of pressure above to make her do otherwise. Translating my anger has been sorely misplaced and I've made the wrong enemy out of those I should be seeking to band together with and reach out to. The Holy Ghost revealed to me I am doing this all backwards. And I'm just grieved about where to go from here with the dentist. My conscience has been proded by the Holy Spirit and I question if my resolve was misplaced.
I don't know what I ought do. I made a post about not wearing my mask period but with recent events I am feeling I should delete it because in fact I'm torn as of right now given what i know about things. I guess I'm seeking encouragement on what to do. Things aren't as black and white as I first thought. Talking with my boss for an hour and a half made me see just how much she's spared us despite how much I hate these mask rules at my job. And in turn has changed how I see my dentist too.
Please bear with me frens. I'm seriously in a bind and I don't know what's right to do opposed to my original post:
I discovered that the only thing standing between a forced vax and me is in fact my boss. Whom I've recently spoke to about refusing to wear a mask. Only to find out she's not my enemy not my protector. That she even confessed she'd rather have made this an optional rule. But to keep the state from getting pushy she reached compromise. Granted there's a lot at stake so the more i think about it the more i feel sad for her position. In fact it's awakened compassion even for my dentist which I've been so vehement about not going over wearing a mask from the door to a chair. I would appreciate sound judgement from you all. Please help.
God bless you all in Jesus name with a good measure of the Holy Spirit. If I am found not worthy o f the words I spoke in my prior post; dear mods I will do you the favor and delete myself. For it is shame such a person as I should remain with such a positive post to only turn around a day later with more confusion. Amen.

Understanding another's position and having compassion and empathy for them broadens our perspective about a situation. That may alter your feelings and beliefs, which in turn may cause you to make a different choice than you might otherwise have made. However, whatever choice you make has to be a choice that's right for you. Each of us has our own issues to deal with, including your boss and your dentist, but you aren't responsible for them, their issues and their choices. If you make your choice based on your understanding of their situation and that choice actually goes against your grain, it won't go well. You may be able to make yourself do it, but you'll never feel totally comfortable with it, and ultimately you may resent your choice and the people associated with it.
TL/DR: Make the choice that's right for you, no matter what other people are dealing with.
That's a good point. The Holy Spirit of is teaching me individually. God bless you in Jesus name, sibling. Amen
