Take joy in the misery of others.
Starting from today Greece is in maximum lock down. You are only allowed to go out for important stuff, like doctor visits, buying groceries, going to work etc. But essentially the last two weeks are like that, only this time its official.
I don't mind spending time indoors. I don't mind social isolation. I am sure though most of my countrymen are already starting to get crazy.. As for me... I can handle it. My past has molded me for a situation like this. You see, I was blessed to be on crutches and non weight bearing on one of the two legs. Twice. Each time for approximately 8 weeks.
Non being able to even touch one of your two legs leaves you with not much to do.. You spend most of your time indoors watching movies, playing video games etc. Yeah, you might attend class, go for a coffee or whatever but nothing really exciting... And depending on your character, an experience like that teaches you plenty of stuff, like humility, patience, and actually taking joy in little things like... how fucking awesome is to take a nice proper shit with out asking someone to help you.
Both times I was in this situation I found comfort in knowing there was a date that eventually everything would be back to normal. 8 weeks before I can start touching my leg and another 4 weeks before I gradually proceed to full weight bearing. All I had to do was reach that date. One day at a time. A couple days pass by... The first week is over. It's a win! Two weeks...1 month.. You have a date that you can look up to.. A date you know you will be free...
But this is a different case... I am totally healthy. I can take a proper shit. I can take my dog fora walk and I have an awesome view from my balcony. But there's no date to look up.. Two weeks have passed and I don't know how much of the distance is over.. Will this shit last for one more month? Two? Now, this is the only thing that is actually starting to bother me lately.. Taking a mental toll..
Ah fuck it... This shit is getting depressing. Here's another lesson I learned the hard way. When you feel shit take joy in the misery of others.It always cheers me up knowing other people are much worse than me.. And these days it's pretty easy. Just open your facebook.
Some are physically disabled..Some are poor as fuck.. Some are ugly as fuck.. Some committed suicide today in my city for whatever reason... Some fucking loosers. But not me. Not yet. I am still good.
What bothers me the most about all this corona shit is the economical implications and screwing BTC's halving. Other than that staying for a few weeks inside with limited outside exposure doesn't seem too much of a burden. In here as of today we're in some sort of a lock down but people still got out. Just a few of course but I was one of them.
The economical implications are a battle for another time and the BTC price will probably be the least of our concerns by then..
I don't believe you take joy in the misery of others. I believe their misfortune reminds you of now lucky you are. I know that's a corny sentiment, but, I don't mind being guilty of that.
Enjoy the sun, and your family. Wishing you all very good health :)
Exactly, but it's not funny to write it using these words!

I don't mind spending lots of time inside either, but it is tougher with kids around... but still, it is true that looking at others, you still realize how lucky you are to have a place to live, to be of health, to be able to walk, to have food on the table and so on! It is always useful to keep things in the right perspective! :)
The hardest part about all this is that there's not a definitive "end" in sight.
That's what's driving a lot of the panic and uncertainty.
Stop whining! lol
You are always good for a pick-me-up.
My worst condition these past two weeks has been constipation, but I took a nice proper shit this morning and I again feel up to snuff. I thought you might like to know.
