The Delaware Governor has ordered that face coverings must be worn in public places. I wonder how it is that government can use the threat of law enforcement violence to compel individuals into purchasing and using products in a certain way. I wonder how such an order will be enforceable except for an increasingly compliant population at the ready to shame and report on their neighbors. I wonder how I will approach this latest infringement of rights.
Beyond all the questions there is a certainty that came to me today. I miss seeing smiles. I’ve suspected that the non-verbal cues signaled by one’s face would make communication more difficult, then today it hit me that smiles are medicine. Seeing someone smile can break the worst mood.
The guaranteed suffering of these restrictions is increasing as the benefits become more and more hazy.
God bless and thank you for reading,
