Isolation Is the Enemy of Mankind

Staying at home more than fourteen days is unbearable and boring trying to find ways to cope with a quarantine which is a mandate hated by human nature so uncomfortably maneuvered. Isolation is the enemy of Mankind, only monks and nuns can lead such a solitary life; a lockdown is a short life sentence without any crime, and although we seem free to roam in a restricted space: four walls do little justice to a spirit that's crucified, unable to move in places not authorized. Some breakaway with arrogance and defiance; no excuses are accepted if they are fabricated, many go insane and being daily monitored on their liberties: they choose suicide to end their existence at the highest price. Isolation is the enemy of Mankind, it's a huge sacrifice to be quarantined; will we be able to contain and defeat this deadly pandemic? Who will record it in the History books: if nobody survives?

Hello Andrew Crisci, so nice to meet you. Isolation is not easy. We have to find things to do. I have taken up my hobby again. Crocheting.I am making a blanket. Pick up a book to read. Have a nice day my friend. Be safe.

Hello Andrew Crisci,I am glad that you quit your job at the airport. Because the virus is very strong and I do not want you to be sick, or anyone else. So stay safe. Enjoy your day my friend.

Hi, Darlene. It's my pleasure to hear from you. It's hard to be isolated in a lockdown. Keep busy to beat loneliness. I have gone back to writing poetry and music. I have quit my job at Kennedy Int'l Airport to be safe. I retired two years ago, but decided to go back to work because I was bored. I pray every day for my safety and the safety of others. Enjoy your day and be safe.
