This really resonated with me. Yes, I agree that getting riled up and shouting at grocery store workers or others who are just following orders is counterproductive and only adds fuel to the fire. And yes, we "create our own reality" is true no matter how you look at it, right? For me, living in relative isolation and avoiding mainstream media, "COVID" is not a part of my reality. But for my parents, who frequently consume news about "COVID" and then reinforce this belief through conversations with their friends and neighbors, it is very much a part of their reality.
