We may be returning to a sense of normalcy, but at what cost?

@SirenCalledLuce I just believe that the world we are entering post lockdowns and restrictions will be much different than what we left, and it feels as if we collectively gave something up that we will never get back in order to get to where we are.

I know it may not sound coherent, but can you honestly say that our world we soon be as it used to be pre-2020? The same thing happened with 9/11. We had an innocence, a carefree attitude that we lost back then. We were just starting to gain that back again even though it took a while, and then this happened. I think that the fallout will be that our society will be more jaded, cynical, and apathetic.

@Bri89 If I’m honest things could eventually be better than they were before. I think we’ll appreciate being able to travel, to attend big events and just live on a whim more than we did before because we have been denied it.

My grandfather told me after the war people rebounded. Everyone had a greater appetite for celebration and events, festivity and getting involved. The same could be true next.

We have been cooped up doing a difficult thing for good reason, but when this is done the world will be waiting for us to come back a do what makes us happy.

@SirenCalledLuce Thank you. I do hope you are correct.

@Tracos You and I both.

@SW-User Just making an observation. There's nothing wrong with that.

@minxy Not me as an individual, but collectively I think we have paid a price to get back to somewhere we never should have left.
