I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too

Edit: Usually these kind of posts only used to have excerpts from books or ancient proverbs, but now I am seeing a lot more quotes from shows/movies/games are also resonating with people. It's pretty cool to see.

@HubertManne @zinklog And that it's fine, we all have a=our own Mantras that we listen too or Superstitions you can also say. What most important that you yourself mentioned, that people used to do something and now they are complacent. If you compare how Japan, Europe and USA handled Covid you can see that something you have to learn and repeat and some things you have to do even if your society is pushing against it. Yeah tell someone to wear a mask when they cough!

Im an obsessive masker now. Its not covid per se its just that by 2022 I realized I had not been sick since 2019 and prior to that I had something on average once a year (I was actually overdue for something when the lockdowns hit) and it was not uncommon to be sick even twice a year. Its 2023 now and I am still on the streak and im convinced its because of masking. I don't know how long I can keep the streak but imma gonna try.
