    It is panic. Some idiot starts a rumour and everyone gets freaked out. we had a weekend where they were no meat (fresh or preserved) cos some stupid moron said that the abattoirs were all closed for months as the animals got the virus. When a person panics, it overrides their rationale and ability to process.

    Hopefully in a few months but if communities try to get out of isolation too early, we can have a second wave of new cases and deaths. The isolation rules may end but the impact from the virus may haunt us for years to come.

    Some idiot put his head on my back for fun a few weeks ago. I am still very angry.

    I watched some episodes of LOCH2017 on youtube lately. It is pretty decent but still inferior to LOCH82. LOCH2017 covered very little on Yeung Hong's parents. Wong Yung personality also very different than Wong Yung of LOCH82.

    Price of meat is rising but still available. However, you have less options.

    With Covid-19, why do people (Hong Kong, US, Canada) still go on protest? Why can't they just stay at home?

    Why do we always blame others?

    Blaming other is easy. Accept personal failure is HARD. Most people choose the easy path.

    Many people become homeless due to sudden job loss because of Covid-19. It is easy to blame it on others for their well being. However, it is clearly their own fault. If they saved during good time they would be able to avoid homelessness. It is hard for them to accept their own failure.

    Misery occurs when we make comparison. I wonder the richest man, Jeff Bezos, is happy.

    I think in general, people blame others and cannot accept that they are at fault. However with Covid, savings would be depleted because its been many months since a lot of people are out of jobs. Really hope this situation gets better.

    It's been a while, I hope you are all well and healthy.

    Agree, when you compare with others, you will never be happy. Perhaps the amount of jealousy toward that person would increase.

    Could it be possible that what one is experiencing this life due to previous life?

    A year later, and still flailing about something that literally no one else cares about. You seem to not recognize that you've already been shown more grace than your conduct merits.

    Maybe, maybe not. Happiness is contentment and I guess people like him never get to be.

    Remember: the more "what-if" scenarios you need to prop up your point, the less likely that point is to be true.
