Nothing illuminates the dire state of our mental health issues like the “anti-maskers”.
They are evidently suffering from some disorder or disruption in their thought processes. They seem to share a certain level of anger, resentment and attitude that is beyond rational explanation. They also seem to lack any level of awareness, compassion or ability to relate to others who do not agree with them.
So what’s the right course of action? Is it to confront them? To attack them? To engage them in a kind and non-aggressive manner?
I’m not a mental health professional, but I believe it is clear that along with COVID-19 global pandemic, we are suffering from a pandemic of mental health problems.
What can we do about it? First start at home and make sure you are working with your own situation and then support organizations and politicians who recognize the issue and are willing to push for greater health care for those in need.
We are all in this together.
