eating away
Yes exactly...It gnaws away little by little and add to that the passing of time and the feeling of loss and it's leaving feeling quite annoyed for sure. The last I was on an aircraft was October 2019 and I miss it and all the rest as mentioned above. It must have been a huge adjustment for you considering the frequency you were flying. It's so shit.
damage is being done on those who are being conditioned into believing that the current environment of restrictions are in any way "normal" or "necessary".
Indeed. I didn't want to make this post a rant about the pandemic preferring just to get some of my feelings down and at arms length but, having said that, there's much to rant about for sure. I think the fallout from the last two years and going forward will take a long time to completely reveal itself...And by then, with all the brainwashing that's going on, will anyone really care anymore. Who knows.
Yup
Without the 'pandemic', my life would be much different today- including how much I'm flying... so that fact makes it difficult for me to separate the lack flying with these cocksure lockdowns.
While sometimes it may feel like we're in "uncharted territory", if a student of history were to take a closer look at the driving factors of our current situation, it probably wouldn't take a significant 'jump to conclusion' that we've seen this exact scenario play out in human history before. The only difference that one might arrive upon is that the speed and scale of this perversion happened much more broadly and more quickly than prior human events.
Yes, who knows is right..
I've often wondered what someone two hundred years from now might think when they look back, but then again two hundred years from now individual thought is probably not going to be a thing.
