@buggedout, as someone who is trying to lovingly take in all perspectives on the whole Covid thing and everything wrapped up in it, I really appreciate when someone (in this case, you) shares their experience in a really calm, gentle, non-judgemental way.

It allows me, someone who was probably never going to go to this march, despite living in Australia, to see and better understand what's happening in our country. I cannot stand to watch the news, so need to get my info from other places. And the moment that someone is really opinionated or outspoken about what is "right" and what is "wrong" (regardless of the perspective they hold - and I know and love people at both ends of the spectrum on this topic)... I can feel my body immediately go into defence mode.

So thank you again for these two posts and sharing your experience in such a gentle way. I want to believe that you're helping far more people to get an understanding of what's happening than anyone who "yells and swears" from the rooftops.
