I'm sure us introverted people are having a great time in quarantine.
ReplyDeleteYes. But even introverts can appreciate "zooming" -- just had a staff meeting via that platform. Normally I complain about our meetings, but I realize how much I've missed everyday contact with my colleagues. (Haven't missed the long commute from N'ville to M'boro, though.)
DeleteI really appreciate the line "for the measure of enjoyment depends on the greater or lesser attention that we lend it", to me that is a big part of how to actively increase joy. In a time like this it is important to give energy to the right things.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I have, is that people seem to be a lot more friendlier and wanting to have conversations. Despite being in quarantined, I see many people jogging and taking walks. Along with a lot more police activity, it goes hand and hand I guess.
