ANGLE OF REPOSE AND PROOF OF ANGELS EXISTING ON PLANET EARTH

Today, a person on Facebook expressed frustration with people being judgmental when someone has a legitimate reason for not getting the Covid vaccine. She believes she should not feel obligated to share all of her medical history to explain her reason to others, and with respect for her opinion, I’d like to offer up another option that deepens my sense of peace.

Having changed her name, I offered a gentle response to someone I’ve yet to meet in hopes of soothing her frustration as seen below:

Hi Linda,  In respectful response to your post—my name is Heidi, and I hope you’ll consider a reaction that calms my frustration immensely whenever I’m feeling misjudged.

Though I’d once felt defensive, here’s why I’ve chosen to retire that automatic reaction in favor of consciously embracing an attitude of patience associated with brotherhood before I respond.  You see, each time I choose to kindly and briefly make others aware of an affliction that cannot be seen at a glance, my gentle reply inspires judgement to transform into compassionate contemplation, culminating in a sense of friendliness springing forth so naturally on both sides as to connect two hearts within a caring state of repose for this reason: Whenever I choose to respond with heartfelt kindness, peace of mind is mine, and peace of mind calls forth my smile, and as smiles prove more contagious than most people realize, the preservation of my personal sense of peace empowers me to melt judgement calls proactively by way of expanding the mindset of another, most every time. And if sparking a mutual sense of understanding does not take place, I leave the conversation with dignity, self respect and peace of mind intact.πŸ™‹πŸ»‍♀️πŸ₯° 

Another person’s reply to the original post (penned by an ER doc in hopes of educating the general populous as to why vaccination proves vital) addressed irritation upon receiving calls from grieving relatives of patients who had succumbed to Covid, inspired me to reply—

Hi Melanie, I hope you won’t mind my suggesting that people calling about the death of loved ones hope to inspire you to help to slow this pandemic from taking more lives based in how many millions of people ignore the wisdom of scientists inclusive of doctors, who chose to study medicine, day and night, for many years while others of their age were partying rather than stretching their brains to absorb vast amounts of scientific facts, which prove necessary to preserve the good health of millions of people, throughout the world, every day.

As a twenty two year old bride, I marveled at the grueling hours my husband, a young medical student, felt driven to endure, eyes glued to medical tomes, every night, extending years of education through additional years of residency to ensure that his patients would receive only the very best of care in hopes of his thirst for knowledge proving capable of curing his patients, felled by illness, whose desire to enjoy a long, healthy life was as heartfelt as yours and mine. On the rare occasion when a patient succumbed to death, or an amputation proved necessary to save a child’s life, my husband would walk into our home, his spirit heavy at the end of each of those grievous days, his face looking haggard and gray, so deeply had this man of medicine exhausted his mental energies in hopes of enabling his patients to extend and enjoy their lives or save their limbs from strains of illness, more numerous than you and can possibly imagine  ... so I hope you’ll reconsider the calls you receive and the pleas of exhausted medical professionals, being that, over these last 54 years of marriage, I have personally witnessed at least one true life-saving angel, whose personal calling drew my boyfriend, during college, toward offering his utmost best, day in and day out, throughout each stage of our lives, in hopes of saving human lives however possible on planet Earth.

PS—In addition to sharing my life with a surgeon on a mission, I am also called Aunt Annie by the ER doc mentioned above.

In addition to publishing papers professionally, this ER physician writes of his professional knowledge and personal experiences concerning Covid on Facebook, pretty much, every day, in hopes of inspiring thousands of strangers to see him as a friend whose opinions concerning our need to work together in hopes of saving millions of lives are based in scientific facts that prove heartfelt in nature..

In addition to attending to the needs of others in the ER for many hours, daily, during this difficult time of Covid, my nephew’s wife, the mother of his four precious children, has just endured several months of chemo with surgery scheduled, next month, after her body recovers from infusions of harsh, life saving meds, discovered in labs (just as with Covid vaccines), so that my precious niece can continue to guide her children toward adulthood neath their mother’s loving wing) ...

So, please, let’s all consider the vital importance of following the advice of thousands of physicians and nurses and hospital staff, who are fully committed to offer each of us sound reason to be proactively well informed about preserving our good health in hopes of extending the length of our lives.
