Remember Citizen

Remember citizens, go to work and don't fear. That disrupts society and at a community level that is all bad. And what are you really? Just a little piece of the community. The community is what matters, not it's expendable assets. Nose to the grind and if you drop you drop. But the community will survive. Thus in a sense you will survive. You must put the community over self. Actually, paying attention and seeing danger and taking action to avoid it is not only prudent but if people depend on you it is responsible. It doesn't in and of itself mean you are putting your compassion on the shelf. It doesn't make you anymore selfish than before unless afterwards you become more selfish then you were. This thought...that somehow you are a bad person if you look out for yourself when danger is coming is ridiculous, especially if you plan to look out for others too as you are able. I guarantee that the elite of the "community" will have the best prep possible, the best care available, and the best information at their finger tips. While they smile and say carry on they are making the moves they are assuring everyone else are not necessary. Many of them will avoid danger while asking others to sacrifice. If you choose to sacrifice that is noble and good, but do it from a point of having knowledge that guides rational self interest that you make the decision to willingly lay down for a greater good that you have thought and prayed about, not from a position of where you outsourced your self interest as a commodity to be traded by others who view you as an expendable clog in the gears.
