When everyone is scared, distracted, flustered, & angry the best of men become an anesthetic.

They remove the fear which is festering; beginning with Corona & now "The Vote".

These men replace fear with focus.

It isn't that the source of the pain is removed, it's that the power of the pain (the hurt) is stripped away.

You can't just snap your fingers & make masks, COVID, or the Re-Vote dramatics disappear.

You don't need to, their existence is a part of your own.

Control that.

What you can do is remove the power these events have over your mind & that of your spouse, children, family, & friends.

The anesthetic of masculinity numbs the pain inflicted by these events allowing focus to be placed once again on your life and your locus of control.
