march 4

for our MOM: See if you can relax so much that your body falls asleep while your mind stays awake.

JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "The Passenger" by Iggy Pop; "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd]
During the pandemic, many people have complained about having to stay home and not travel or go out in general. Why? I mean this as a curious, serious question: What's the big deal? Is it not being able to work, or the feeling of being trapped by forces we can't control and not having a choice, or something else? Before the pandemic, I didn't hear everyone celebrating about running errands. More often than not, even when people talked to me about restaurants it was to complain: "We waited too long, the food was cold, traffic was bad, [blah blah blah]..." But now that we've had to adjust because of the coronavirus, people are nostalgic. Why do you think this is the case? Do you think that when it's safe to return to school and being with other people in public spaces, people will be happier, or will they continue being discontented about other things? Might they even miss the time they spent at home during the pandemic? What do you think?
