Thank God For The Fools Among Us

All I said was, "I'm just not afraid of the coronavirus."?

If you only saw the reactions of some of my family members and friends, you would have thought that I was involved in a crime so heinous that I should be committed to an insane asylum. Or at least removed from society as quickly as possible.??

Apparently, that was all it took for me to lose all respect and honor from a few of those family members who know me best. Just that one comment sent me to the land of inconsequence.????

No longer do my opinions, thoughts, decisions, or actions hold any value or worth. After all, who really cares what the fool says or thinks????

You see, fools do foolish things, by definition.??

Fools take risks that the?sensible?consider unnecessary.??

Fools work crazy hours doing menial jobs that the?sensible know is not worth their time.??

Fools go ahead and sell their products and services before they even know all the regulations that the?sensible created.??

Fools figure out how to fix things so that they don't need to take out loans to go to school with the?sensible.??

Fools don’t even know that most good things come from government bureaucracy, a thing that the sensible know to be the case.??

Fools actually believe that they are smart enough to know that, without the?sensible, they would do just fine.??

But heaven forbid if something happens to the wonderful fools; you know, the farmers, oil rig workers, and truck drivers. The?sensible?would crumble and fall into the whims of a tyrannical government that would make the Nazis look like one of those camps that the?sensible send their children to for two months in the summer.??

Remember, it is the foolish linesman who climbs 30 feet in the air on a snowy January night to bring you your electricity. Every building, road, manufacturing facility, and sporting event is there as a result of a fool who took risks with life, limb, and debt.?

They do this against the better judgment of the?sensible who would be too chicken to even think about.?

Thank God for the fools! Fools build things, fools fix things, and fools make society progress into something better.?

It's been a couple of years since the outbreak of the coronavirus and I still see some?sensible people wearing muzzles, still afraid.?

But I don't think they are afraid of the virus anymore. There is too much evidence that the?sensible were duped by their lords in government again. No, I think the fear comes from the fact that people are figuring out whose opinions, thoughts, decisions, or actions hold any value or worth.??

The sensible are just now coming to terms with the fact?that the most inconsequential people in society, those who are the real burden, just might be the person they see in the mirror.??

They are in a tough spot, they are vulnerable. They may have pushed too far. I think the muzzles are to hide their faces in shame.???

Which would be the honorable thing to do in this fool's opinion.?
