SunStar + April 05, 2021 “POVERTY is not the number one enemy of a civilized society. It is boredom and solitude.” Government, media, parents, friends and almost everybody is giving everyone repeated advice to stay home. Easy to say. I acknowledge that the cases are rising each day and it is too risky to be going to the supermarket or to your nearby grocery store. I am exposed to this treacherous virus each time I spend 30 minutes or one hour at my favorite coffee shop because I wouldn’t know who among the habitués is asymptomatic. But I cannot imprison myself for so long even my cell is my own home. The stress is too much to bear for me.
