There are currently two channels of communication out there…folks trying to be positive (via any method) and others that will claim the world is burning and it’s just a matter of time before we see the end-of-days.
However, it’s interesting to see where the source of this information is coming from. The positivity will often come from individuals that would typically see positive themes during a time of negativity. They comment about the righteousness of religion, friends, family and even health. While being positive, they are hoping for the best, keeping their heads-up, reaching out to friends and family…soul-searching. I respect these individuals more than you can imagine. They have built a foundation of trust, belief and confidence that I can not imagine building during a time of ambiguity. I’m truly impressed by their resilience and ambition.
Then there are the negative folks, those that thrive on spewing the worst of a situation. Things like…this pandemic, quarantine, shelter in place situation we are in will last forever…our government let us down, Gen-Z are screwing the progression of flattening the curve, the Baby Boomers are making this worse because they didn’t prepare. We have politicians / mass-media battling about calling things racist or incompetent, yet people are still getting sick, or infected. Do these folks go home at night and check the box…yep, I’m happy I satisfied my objectives for today.
I may be asking for too much, maybe a balance between the negative and the positive, but the extremes are continually unproductive. At this point I would be satisfied with just a target/goal…by “x” date, we hope to be able to have “x” available to the population. This way I can measure if we are ahead, or behind our goals.
Some thoughts about latest commentary on and off mass-media…
