Wife is so worried as there is no recourse to this situation. Who’s gonna pay for all these severely jab injured families to continued survival? They hated he had to take that shot. I get a feeling government disability is gonna sky rocket.

No man is an island. So he made a bad decision, who hasn't. So he's suffering now, we all are or will be. Being righteous or angry or dismissive of him won't help the fact that it is now everyone's problem. Multiply him by millions, ask yourself how much of a problem there will be for the unvaxxed if they just say, too bad for him but I'm okay. This is a fire burning through the whole world.
Exactly. Whether we like or not, taking an I told you so attitude, is not going to help with the very real problem that we now face as a country and internationally. There are millions of these same types of people in our midst. If we ignore them, then we are no different than those evil cold hearted bastards that callously set them up for failure in the first place. These misguided people may very well be completely disabled and unable to work. What then? How do we as a society deal with all of these injured and sick people?
This huge reality for us is not going away simply by slamming the door in the faces of those trying to get help due to the biggest mistake they have ever made in their lives. Did they chose poorly? Yes, absolutely. But, are we so heartless that we will add insult to injury by turning our backs on them in order to have a smug sense of "we were right?" Taking the position that they get what they deserve is not showing the compassion of a people, that at the same time, profess to be God fearing. Granted, many of them were/are smug and cruel towards those of us that stand our ground - some of us at great cost personally. But, my Bible says not to return evil for evil. My Bible says to turn the other cheek when treated unjustly. I didn't write the rules.
We must diffuse this hate bomb that has been dropped in the middle of the most generous and compassionate citizenry in the world. If we do not, then we will be destroyed by that hate and we will feed into the negativity that the forces of evil so desperately desire. At that point, we cease to be America because we will have lost one of the most basic qualities that made us great - our compassion. Standing up against tyranny does not mean becoming a tyrant as well.
This is going to be a huge test for this society going forward. A people are judged by how they treat the most vulnerable among them. I pray we are up to the challenge.
I hear you, but you gotta understand some of these people can literally fuck off for all I care. THEY WANTED YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DEAD! FUCK THESE CLOWNS.
Now, maybe this guy simply made a poor decision and is now paying the price. I can source some empathy for him and those who are in similar situations. The ones that literally wished death upon me, that's gonna be a naw for me dawg.
I hear you. And I do understand how you feel. I am angry too. But I refuse to be on their level and let hatred and arrogant stupidity be my motivation. Come upins and revenge is not my place, but God's. That is what my Master taught me. I will stand up for what is fair and right, but I will not lash out at another with the same vitriol sent my way.
I really do think that the majority of those we are going to have to deal with are like the poor chap in this post. They deserve compassion and mercy. They made a really bad decision, and you are right, they are paying for their mistake. But I am not going to be responsible for compounding that mistake. I have had to deal with persecution more than once in my life, and if my Master can extend forgiveness to those that abused him and sought his death, can I do any less? This is not just lip service - but principles I try to live by.
Our future is going to be tough and we are seeing this reality developing around us by the day. We didn't ask for any of this sh*t, but we are the ones that will be left to deal with the wreckage. We can either deal with it with revenge and hate, which is not sufficient to carry us through, or we can deal with it using compassion and love. I choose the later. In the end, the only one I am accountable to is God - and that is what He expects of me. God bless you.
I agree. Righteous anger is for the sin not the sinner. I'm not looking for bragging rights or revenge or anything else other than maybe a sincere apology. And even if I never get one, I'll be just fine knowing that only God can save them. "Don’t give what is holy to dogs or toss your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them under their feet, turn, and tear you to pieces." I tried helping these people, only to be met with anger, ignorance, and threats. I won't be making the same mistake twice. God bless you as well.
Best post I've read all week. I hope people read this and take your advice.
Thank you. I really pray that they do. All this hatred and vitriol that is reversing flow in the other direction is disturbing - and it is not going to help us in dealing with this monumental problem. Indications are not good and those that do understand what it all means are very alarmed for the future. We need to be part of the solutions because this disaster is not going away. What does give me hope however, is that the American people have a long tradition of pulling ourselves up by the bootstraps when the chips are down. Let us pray that we can continue on with that same courageous tradition. Our survival as a society and a country depend on it.
I will forgive. I will help them if I can.
But I won't ever forget.
We are not asked to forget - but only to forgive. When we forgive, we don't allow the actions of another to enslave us and make us bitter. I refuse to give another that type of control. I will also help where I can. That is what God would want us to do. He is the only one I will have to answer to for my actions, and my motivations. He will let me know when I have done enough.
Too bad for him. I'm okay.
