Well written. Maybe one day when I feel it is safe enough, I will have a night out. Until then, my self isolation will continue.

Solitude prepared me well for the pandemic social distancing, at least. You've got to find happy nuggets wherever you can.

I have had hate in my heart before, but it's not something I want to hold onto. I can't understand what drives these people to a feeling that is so uncomfortable to experience. What do the haters get out of it? Aren't they exhausted?

LOVE OF HATE? That seems to be the case.

I just don't get it.

If a politician posts a hateful comment and someone kills because of it, that lawmaker is morally, if not legally culpable.

The Responsible Discourse Act to curb hate speech in politics would be appropriate.
