Find the Good in the Bad

There are always two sides to every coin.

As we approach Christmas, and round the final corner of the year, there is a lot to reflect on.

Let’s face it — 2020 was one of the most tumultuous years ever. Everyone everywhere was impacted by something this year. Hence why many see a dumpster fire as the perfect representation.

The pandemic snuck up on us — at least in the United States — because our leadership was too busy with their self-absorbed bullshit to handle it properly. That’s why it’s only gotten worse.

But all the blame doesn’t belong to the leadership. Lots and lots of people have shown how incredibly selfish and self-righteous they are. Refusals to take the simplest precautions — wear masks, social distance, not gather together in tight spaces — have come with the flimsiest, most selfish excuses.

I don’t know anyone who hasn’t been impacted by this. Almost everyone now knows someone who died from COVID-19, jobs have been lost, businesses shuttered, lives impact by working from home, and hybrid schooling and other craziness related to this year.

Then — because a pandemic wasn’t enough fun — families have been torn apart due to politics getting way out of hand.
