Is it okay just to comply because a wanderer knows the bigger picture, rendering what happens here none of the wanderer's concern? Honoring the free will of others, and not getting caught up in the maelstrom, is not the same as going along with things one doesn't agree with in general. The vaccines have been rolled out to children and will be to babies, and they are in some cases being coerced against the parent's wishes. As Zedro brought up, if we were in 1930-something Germany, what would be a wanderer's response there? Comply with whatever the government was trying to do? Don't take this the wrong way—I am not saying taking the vaccine is like going along with Hitler and genocide. But there is an underlying concept of how far to comply with cultural coercion, and why. And considering the censored narrative, I do not think it a stretch to call it coercion.
Interesting analysis, and my brain is running with thoughts.
It seems - and correct me if I'm wrong - that you are asking about one being's sense of responsibility in informing (in one way or another) another being's choices? Whether one sees itself as a wanderer, and if so, where does your sense of responsibility lie?
This question - how much do we impact other's choices and what is our responsibility therein? - is a very complex one (for me).
If I distill and distill it down, I come to a place of, well, uniqueness. How much each of us processes and where our resonances lie is quite unique.
This, of course, is not what the mandates are doing: the mandates are indeed stripping away 100% free will. But, could each being find their own percentage of free will and responsibility that serves them on this journey? It seems to me that we each strike a unique balance for ourselves:
* how much free will one chooses to exercise
* how much one takes on the responsibility of another's choices
* and so on, in an astoundingly complex dance of energies wherein each of our choices create a symphony.
And there is an analogy to the times of the Holocaust, and other times in our human history: the separation into two groups. Inclusion/exclusion based on some quality, be it wealth, privilege, ethnicity, belief, etc. has been going on throughout our human history in one way or another. It seems to be a common human reaction to fear, simplistically stating.
This point of choosing separation or unity is what draws my gaze. Does each being choose to see a sense of separation (based on a seeming quality), or does each being choose to see a sense of unity despite the differences in a seeming quality (e.g., vaccinated or unvaccinated)?
I see obvious problems with mandates in that they could easily become a platform for separation. Cards showing whether one is vaccinated or not, for example, could become a mechanism of inclusion/exclusion. Like the color of one's skin, or the beliefs that one holds. And I don't want this to happen ... again.
Are some of you concerned that if we do not, as a global community, stop these mandates before they get "out of hand" that we might find ourselves in yet another separated situation except now based on compliance (vaccinated) and non-compliance (unvaccinated)?
