Yeah I'm definitely for that. And despite my immediate family living in oz, I haven't been there in 10 years (for sad reasons). I like where I am, and did when I was there. I don't feel the need to travel (more than 5-10 miles from my flat). I have before when I was young, but the idea of doing it twice a year or more? Well aside from the fact I couldn't afford it, I don't see the point. All the good things in life are potentially what you make of them. But that definitely includes other people. I'd like to be talking about something different, but it's hard (even harder now) to get momentum on such stuff if people can't congregate. I suspect that's a political upside to lock down for the status quo. We're all fed up but have no means of voicing our discontent, and being less connected with others makes that even less likely to amount to anything. |
