Sometimes I feel so alone

I tried to talk to my mom about the vaccine mandates coming at my job and she told me that I was endangering my family and others by not getting it. She used to be the most based person I know. She told me to take one for the team.
Let's parse her words:
Take one (Suffer the fallout)
for the team. (for family and friends)
The myopic view would be to accept that at face value and get jabbed for immediate (and misguided) view that it's good for them. We know it is not.
The 40,000 ft view is to take one (suffer the fallout) for the team (for everyone's greater good). In this case it means standing up to your mom when she's wrong, but honoring the spirit of her words.
One might get you temporary comfort. The other will comfort your soul. And protect the rights and long term health of you, your family, and everyone else.
Take one for the team, in the long wrong, she will know why.
Does that make sense?
ps: You aren't alone. I'm right there with you. It ain't easy but it's honorable. She doesn't have to look at you in the mirror every morning, but you do 👍
