CONSIDERING:
“Respect is defined as consideration for others.”
Consideration of others’ lives being less important than their absolute liberty?
Surely that’s worthy of respect.
But I jest. Truth be told, most such people convince themselves masks wouldn’t really help, so they don’t believe they are actually risking killing anyone.
Many still believe it is all just a HOAX or one of the many other “explanations” they tell each other or that health precautions during a pandemic is really an attempt to conquer the world (Bwa-ha-haaa!).
They aren’t REALLY evil, not really, not exactly…
David for better people
Respect is defined as consideration for others.
Those that refuse to wear a mask absent a medical condition aren’t showing respect for fellow man.
How about respect those who don’t wear a mask.
This is about respecting each other. Wear a mask and we can keep it down. It does not matter if you believe it is real or not. Respect each other and wear a mask .
