Blame Game

Blamers have arisen to the point of insanity. It seems that few understand that blame occurs when the blamer is unable to fathom something that happened and feels guilty that they might have been the one responsible, and therefore, points the finger at the "other guy" to relieve its guilt. This day as we are all trying to put down a cruel virus, a living creature that is heartless and wants only to procreate as do all living things but this time putting the entire human race in jeopardy.  Now that the fear is passing, the blame begins. The virus was not invented by some human beings somewhere to inflict harm on others. It just happened, and it is something that no matter where it happened or how, no one planned it, or wants it. It is something that the entire earth must try to defeat and it isn't easy because at this time, there is no cure and in spite of commercial pressures and saying it has, it has not gone away. The virus is still here, and all we can do is avoid it as best we can. Those who venture out to work or play are still in danger and should be very careful to know and think that it is not over. The virus is present, and until we can find ways of stopping it for certain, we are still terribly vulnerable. Politicians and business folks have one main agenda, we must remember, but life in general is still more important than money. I know it's easy to say but it is true. I am proud that governments are trying to help by providing funding, but it's never quite enough for some and there is a dangerous impatience on behalf of some leaders that could lead to lethal consequences. Leaders are talkers. Period. It is easier to talk about what to do, than to do it. It concerns me, that some of the world's leaders are proving their complete possession with that one agenda to remain in power. How they do it, is the key to how much responsibility we should entrust in them. We are watching. History has proven how leadership can have deadly endings but it also shows how populations really have the control should they act on it. It is a shame if the whole pandemic situation becomes a fight between political partisanism with solely commercial ends and the population that must carry out their demands. Going to work in a place that isn't safe and demanding that it be a safe place, is why unions were made. They save lives. Those without the company of others in helping themselves in helpless venues, are in a tough position. Decisions have to be made on a personal level, and it could mean disaster for some of the innocent who are wafted about at the wills of those higher than their position. It has always been the case that those on high, are safer than those who aren't. Times have changed. We live in a country that is privileged to have leadership in all of the parties that care about us. It isn't always perfect, but it's far better than in other places that have no kindness. Power rules. What we have to do is "get a grip" as they say, and do what we, personally, know is right and helpful and stay kind to one another. We are "Canadian", and have the choice to work together and be patient and aware and  responsible so that we can beat this Covid19 monster.
