so im tryin to use nvc non violent communication in order to put in
in this instance i m talkin about the vaccinated vs unvaccinated war zone
so here s my understanding
the vaccinated have a need for empathy, understanding and compassion for the fact that they did have the vaccine
the lucky ones in my opinion are the ones that believe the vaccine is good for them, as well as the good of humanity
the not so lucky ones are the ones who complied with the rules and regulations, and had the vaccine because they were either foced to by their job description, or they made this choice in order to live a sort of normal life
there r s a hell of a lot of reasons for both -vaccinated- categories to be angry
they may feel betrayed by the rest that didnt do the vaccine
they may feel they did it in vain- as the whole plan for this to work was if everyone got vaccinated
they may feel angry as this isnt quite normal - yet- and there s a lot of limitations in that they still have to wear masks, things still close down, there s no music, there s lockdowns in various places around the globe, etc
they need our compassion for all these reasons, and more i havent mentioned, but they are huge inconveniences- ie schools close, money, baby sitting arrangements if you are a working parent, i m not even sure who i m talking about as many people in places like greece where i am, they barely get by on a good day with unemployment, low wages etc
so compassion is the word. Do you feel sad and angry u got vaccinated for all the above- if the answer is yes- then i do feel very sad and angry too- that u feel like this. Do you feel u made a sacrifice, in order for this society to move through these dark times? I am genuinely sorry.
Do you get frustrated now that mr novic nocovis or what s his name will go to the cafe un vaccinated, where u had to do it in order to go to the cafe? This is a really oversimplistic view but it s kinda the tip of the iceburg. I dont know if mr novic will go to the cafe, but i certainly know i cant, as i am, indeed, unvaccinated. And i would love to go to the cafe. And i cant.
So, i dont want to speak much for the unvaccinated, i just want to highlight that the inconvenience at this point is big for me as well. I am in no position to live a normal life, for all the reasons a vaccinated person can not, as well as extra reasons, such as entry to pretty much anything in greece u have to have a vaccine- or three, as it happens.
So from my point of view, the unvaccinated people may even say that i - and other people like myself- have caused this lockdown.
And they may be right.
So what do u suggest?
Anyone?
One suggestion would be that we all get the vaccine, we come get dragged off our beds and get vaccinated in our sleep- see southpark and hiv hilarious episode-
Okay, and say this happened. There will of course be a number of doses of this vaccine, so there will be an ongoing situation. Until everyone is persuaded that the vaccine is good for them, and they are ready to get vaccinated whenever necessary, i suspect this will be the situation we are living in- today.
The bummer is that i will not be persuaded. So perhaps it s okay for the vaccinated people to hate me at this point. There may, however, be a point where the vaccinated people get fed up with all this and hop the fence to join their unvaccinated brothers. Even though we will still be the ones to blame for this shambles. And the more doses the vaccinated will take, the more hate there s gonna be. As they will be vaccinated say twice, but they will have the rights of me- the hairy unvaccin.
