A close family member angrily told me last night that my wife, children and I are no longer welcome around her and her children (and MY PARENTS!) until we are all fully vaccinated. She called us "selfish idiots". She interrupted every factual objection I attempted to raise about the vax with "Fauci says...."
I asked her if she had read Fauci's emails. HER: "What emails are you talking about?" ME: "The 1000+ released through a FOIA request several weeks ago." HER: "Oh, don't be ridiculous. Those emails were debunked." ME: "How so?" HER: click.
It is disgusting and heart breaking how the MSM has brainwashed the masses and caused mass psychosis and panic. Common sense and logic have been completely abandoned.
I have not encountered a single liberal or vax zealot that is willing or able to have an actual rational and fact based discussion on any topic that is counter to the narratives. I give up.
There is a difference in forgiving someone, and forgiving going back to before the rift. Just because you forgive someone, doesn't mean you will put up with the stuff that caused the rift. You can love someone, but dislike with a passion some of their actions.
Hang in there. I pray we are shielded with God's armor to not only survive, but thrive through all of this and to be a shining example of dignity and grace for others who are asleep at the moment.
