You hear from someone that a mutual friend was in a car accident. You ask, “Are they ok? What happened? Who was in the car? Where were they?” You finish with, “I hope they were wearing a seatbelt.” You find out that they just left a downtown bar and that everyone is ok, however, your statement about the seatbelt is met with, “They were not wearing a seatbelt. They were lucky”, to which your reply is, “Lucky is right. Thank God they’re ok.” 

Now…

You hear from someone that a mutual friend has tested positive for Covid. You ask, “Are they vaccinated?” You are told they are not. You reply, “What the hell is wrong with them? Don’t they know it’s not about them? Why are they so selfish? I keep saying to get vaccinated and wear the mask! You know what? You reap what you sow.”

Of these two scenarios, only one person was selfish. Only one person deserves your anger and disgust. Only one person was careless with their life, and the lives of others. . . Are you mad at the wrong person?
