When it really happens: SHTF...

[Ovidio]

First of all, a few pictures for Steve, as promised last week.
This little church was first built around the middle of the 10th century.
During the centuries past, it has been changed and modified a few times, adding side naves, doors, windows...
150 years ago, it has been brough back to its original aspect, but for the belltower, which is quite particular. Built in 1878.
Some pictures are rotated. I can’t fix it, I’m sorry.

Concerning this pandemic, I have reached my “overflow” level.
Since Friday I have started doing the things I feel are right, without listening to the government anymore.
I’ll get to pay for this sooner or later, but I just have had enough.
I’m not doing dangerous or stupid things, I’m just applying coherence.
If the provisions enforced say that a certain distance, mouth and nose protections, disinfectant or gloves are ok to go to work, to ride a bus, to go buy kids clothes, then I apply these rules for going to church, hanging out with friends, going about my normal activities.
If some prohibitions are clearly arbitrary, I don’t respect them.
I follow all the rules, but I apply my own coherent view of the world and decide if and what I’m going to do.
It is very difficult for me, since I was born and raised as a disciplined guy. But there comes a moment in life, when you need to disobey.
If a politician tells me that I can’t go to church because it is not necessary, I give him the virtual finger and go. It is not his power to decide what is or is not important. He has to set rules, and these must be equal for all activities.
Where arbitrary will exhists, there is no democracy. Where democracy reigns, there shall be no arbitrary will by the institutions.
I had a long internal struggle, and now I took my decision.
And I feel good about it!
