It occurred to me, as stores start allowing more shoppers, and churches start opening their doors again, one of the most divisive topics, will be to mask or not to mask.

And, this post isn’t about which one is right. I have my own opinion, as I am guessing you do too.

But, how do we stay friends, if we don’t agree?

The same way we do if we don’t agree on other topics. Respect that everyone is right from their own perspective. You have your trusted experts, I have mine. They might not agree either.

I don’t have answers. Just a reminder that as we move back into more social situations, don’t lose friendships over opinions or perspectives on face mask usage.

You will have friends who are adamant on everyone wearing masks. Love them.
You will have friends who think it’s overkill. Love them.
If a business doesn’t require mask wearing, and you feel they should, don’t shop there, or shop online.
If a business requires you wear a mask to come inside and shop, then respect that or shop somewhere else.

It’s pretty simple, really.

I believe there are far more dangerous things that could come out of Covid19, than sickness, if we don’t look at them head on, and decide how we want to respond as human beings.
