The fog of this time
The haze - mental, emotional, and concrete - blankets the winter of 2021–2022
In these hard and uncertain times, the fog is mental, emotional, and concrete. As the Covid-19 pandemic blurs our lives, haze blankets the winter of 2021–2022.
The first fog is the one we have been experiencing for almost two years and that it was impossible to predict: inevitably the international health emergency continues to affect everyone’s daily life and seems to have no imminent end, on the contrary, if anything, it seems to worsen cyclically.
Meanwhile, the presence of the Coronavirus clouds consciences, scratches the sense of community, damages the search for the common good. Variants of the virus such as Omicron and Delta rekindle the force of the infection and risk damaging the vaccination campaign, the only arrow we have in our bow.
Thus everyone’s lives are severely tested by an unpredictable, unprecedented situation. The fog also takes shape during the day along the road around our cars in these weeks of dense cold, while I walk with my little dog Jinnie, cold and disoriented by the gray landscape.
It is a fog that makes itself hated even more than it should because it even invades the football fields and hides Juventus matches.
