A security guard in Michigan was shot by some asshole who didn't want to wear a mask into a store. Yes. A person was shot because someone else didn't want to wear a mask.
This is the thing about times of crisis is that it really does reveal character. Some people just do their best to endure the situation and mind their own business. Some people use this as a time to set order to their lives and tend to the things they've been neglecting. Some people thrive. They build new businesses and create art. And some people are just destructive assholes who scream, rant, live in fear, and make it worse for everyone else.
I don't think any of those paths are set. I think we as individuals have choices here. We can decide what character traits we will feed in these moments. You want some control over a situation? There you have it. Control yourself. Control YOUR actions. Control YOUR reactions. That's all the power you need. That is the freedom for which you are responsible.
