As well, as Gabriel notes above, there’s also a sense of dehumanization at play. Many of us ‘non-normies’ have been dehumanized during the great gaslighting Covid campaign. To be misunderstood is one thing, but to be treated as someone undeserving of basic dignity is difficult to endure, even for the more mentally resilient
But I understand why Gabe would feel that taking time for himself was selfish or greedy. It’s crazy that doing nothing in a calm, peaceful place has been labeled an extravagance, a privilege or a luxury. Simply being is why we exist. It’s our Goddess-given right. The words health and self are similar. Whenever we do something for our own mental, spiritual or physical health, we’re giving that gift to everyone.
