That's hardly a patient loving kind thread title.
Here's another one;
"Don't expect justice and fairness all the time"
We can waste a lot of time and energy getting angry and depressed over unfairness.
"My boss made me work overtime for no pay"
But if you didn't complain, maybe you impressed him. That might be a good long term benefit. Anyway, do it for God. Do it with a smile on your face. Maybe you are being shaped into a better person.

I'm not angry. If I have to go into full lockdown again I will feel like the first lockdown was just a waste of time, and as most people know, I don't enjoy lockdowns, I enjoy my freedom and rights , yet I will follow the rules because that is just the way it is. I'm on level 2 now, aucks is on level 3. I don't know what's going to happen that's up to the government to decide, it's not looking good, but no need for me to panic.

Something obviously failed somewhere.

For the Christian Romans 8:28 is both comforting and terrifying.
All things, that is what ever happens in one's life, works for the good of those who are called according to his purposes.

It is comforting in that it tells us God is in control and that, that terrible event didn't catch God out.
It is terrifying because what ever nasty things happen we have to live through them, trusting in God.

Don't get me wrong like Paul and his thorn in the flesh, we can ask God to remove the trial. Maybe he will maybe he won't, I do know that God will support one through the horriblest situation, that it is never pleasant but God's peace does enable one to sleep at night, to go about one's daily tasks despite the pressing load of worry.

Those who claim God promises us health and wealth do not know God nor do they see life as it is.

The government was praised by many for how it locked us all down and handled 19, the thing is, the people apparently eliminated 19 by obeying the rules or face a penalty, that was the peoples job, and we were apparently successful and eliminated 19, while the government only had one job, and that was to keep it out, and it obviously failed in my opinion because it's back.

I'm not angry, I'm not blaming anyone for it because no one wants 19 and no one asked for 19 and no one wants to be locked down.

The city I live in has had more restrictions put on it. They did predict at the beginning of this virus that there would be a second wave of it. Seems to be happening worldwide. Hang in Kiwi.

Tell me where he lives, I'll send my cousins Guido and Vito over there with their baseball bats.
That's the way it's done here in Benson-Hurst, in Brooklyn
 
I could not plan ahead the last couple days because I did not know what the government is going to tell me what I can and cannot do.

I could not plan my weekend because I had to wait for the government to tell me if I could or could not do what I want to do, and after the waiting now I have to wait for the next announcement.

People want to run there business and people want to work and know they can pay there rent and bills in peace. The mass majority don't need or want more stress in life.

No one wants the stress of having to take day by day not knowing if the next day they are going to be screwed and could loss there job or there business could fold. Just saying.

What is this power trip. I'm over it.

I'm not angry and I am not blaming anyone, I just observe and have my own opinions and try to live my life in peace and look after my own health and safety because I am responsible for myself.

My view? You are venting.
Like when the first lockdown occurred in NZ.
Venting is a form of frustration and anger release. I do it a lot on forums like this. Sometimes disguised as humour.
Writing can be a form of release. Though sometimes it makes us churn over the same thoughts too much. And become more angry.
