I sat and paused over a short story from today's news.....a study completed and says that 44-percent of Americans have hit their lowest emotional point of their lives...with the Covid-19 era.
The chief problem of the study? It didn't really identify rural versus urban folks, or state-by-state folks.
Generally, if I were looking at this idea....I'd say that probably only 5-percent of rural folks said they'd hit their lowest emotional point of their life (they've seen tornados, droughts, and failed crops....so it's hard to rattle them on some virus). The urban folks? It might be 70-percent of them 'suffering' (in some way) enough....say they were at a key emotional point.
If you were going state-by-state? I'd take a wild guess that folks in NY City and California....probably around 80-percent of them were in this dismal state of life situation.
Folks in Tennessee or Alabama? It might be only 3-percent of them in some dismal state of life environment, and half of them were consumed with watching CNN or Doctor Doom-videos twelve hours a day.
Frankly, it's hard for me to buy into this discussion. If you are that bad off on the emotional scale, you probably had some issues brewing before Covid-19 ever came along.
So I end this essay with this observation....it ain't over. Come October, I expect the virus to rise up again in numbers.....with various state governments wanting to go back to full-scale chaos, and your dismal scale of life rises back to maximum numbers once again. CNN and Doctor Doom? They will do their job, and you will get a full dose every evening.
