Are you a better person than you were a year ago?

Am i a better person?
I've acquired much more patience.
I've acquired more respect to the more important things in life.
I've learned bad decisions comes with a very high price.
Have been doing a lot of soul searching.
I think.......
Thanks to Covid.......i may be a better person.......or just maybe a fool.

I know that I'm MORE of a person than I was last year. I received three-count'em-three big "baskets 'o goodies" for Christmas and they were packed with chocolate. I am embarrassed to admit that absolutely not one piece remains. Did I throw them away? Of course not! I ATE 'EM!!! Every last one...…

My talking scale keeps saying "one at a time, please!"

I wouldn't be able to resist either...after enjoying such, it does prompt me to bundle up and head out for some speed walking.

There certainly was high expectations, in respect to when all Canadians will be vaccinated
First i heard, would be end of June.
Then, like you Packerjohn, September 2021.
Now ?????????????????.
Heard this on the tv news today........inmates in prisons will be higher on the list.......even before the prison guards.......and before the general public.
Very disheartening.

Well, if the prisoners are to get the vaccine before the guards, I guess we all know who the real important people in this country are: rapists, murders, con-artists, etc.

Myself - no. I haven't accomplished much of anything of value this year. If you wiped 2020 out of my life, it would be better. I didn't achieve any goals this year for the first time, probably ever, and it's put me in a bitter mood.

How about you?

I don't think I'm a better person than I was a year ago but who knows. I do try and improve on things that I need to improve on though.

Better than what? In the words of John Cameron Swayze "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking." I don't care to measure me anymore than I care about people's opinions of me. I've done OK so far and it's too late to change now. No enemies is proof enough.

I would appear to have a few enemies, ("maybe they're just jealous". :) :( ), but if you remember Paul Newman's statement about "People who have no enemies have no character", maybe I'm the lucky one(?). :)

This is one of those cases where they're damned if they do, and damned if they don't.

Prisoners being vaccinated before guards equals public outcry, but if guards were vaccinated first, then there would be a public outcry that prisoners were being neglected, abused, and their fundamental rights violated.

I'm from the "old school." I thought that when you broke the law & when to prison you lost some of those fundamental rights. Guess, by today's standards, I'm wrong again. Just can't figure why criminals have more rights than the innocent out in the street?

I'm old-school, too, and don't at all agree with all of the rights and privileges extended to prisoners today, but your and my way of thinking doesn't carry far today in this world we're living.

I think it's not to protect the prisoners, but to protect those who work in prisons and could then carry the virus home with them and infect their families and others. This was what I heard on the news.

That's an interesting way of looking at it. The way I see it was, a large group of people didn't like the outcome of a fair election, so they were trying to overturn it and put a dictator in power.

The good thing about the way our government is set up is, you can take over a building, but that doesn't equate to taking over the government. Had the insurrectionists stayed in the Capitol, Congress could have gone elsewhere to do their business and it would have been legal. The insurrectionists would not have had any real power, other than control of a building.

It's like the people who were afraid that Trump would refuse to leave the White House. Biden would still be sworn in and become president on Jan. 20 and Trump would simply be trespassing.
