The boy who called "sheep"

I understand there are people with asthma, and people with other illnesses that makes wearing a mask viscerally terrifying to them. So instead, they create extra physical distance and only shop in stores that do not require wearing a mask.

But I'm not talking about them.

You know the ones I'm talking about. The ones that get all hot and loud about the cloth on your face.

The way some anti-maskers respond you'd think they were being told to seal plastic bags around their heads.

I understand the fear or even tantrum of a child being told they're getting a needle; but it would be insincere of me to say I truly understand the fear anti-masker.

But remember this:

If you hold too tightly to your freedom you may break it. You may make it crumble and slip through your fingers in an effort to prevent anyone else from touching it, but by your own reaction destroy what you claim to protect.

And then one day, that may come back to you in ways you can no longer even fight. If someone you love catches this and they catch it bad, your freedom won't save them.

Do not be greedy with your freedom.
