My youngest daughter could tell you what 2 weeks really means.
Because it doesn't mean 14 days.
When we were going through some hard times, a check would come every 2 weeks.
With every 2 weeks there was a glimmer of hope, that this would be the last 2 weeks of hell.
However, 2 weeks can turn into 2 years or longer.
SO WHY 2 WEEKS
2 weeks is a significant amount of time to pass, while adjusting in smaller increments to the situation at hand.
2 weeks avoids panic.
2 weeks feels do-able.....
2 more weeks isn't that long,
after all we've already gone 2 weeks we can do 2 more..
And 2 more.....
When you tell someone 2 weeks it doesn't overload their system.
If the government was to announce that this could last 3 months, people would have went into panic mode, far worse than they already are.
Tell folks this might take a year to recover and we are talking PANIC on more levels than you care to imagine.
So they say 2 weeks....
{keep in mind how many 2 weeks it's already been}
By doing it this way, you have the opportunity to rationalize in your own mind, that this is going to take longer than 2 weeks.
RELAX
The government isn't trying to take over our lives.
They are trying to get the selfish ignorant people to realize that they are putting everyone at risk, by acting like this is nothing.
If we could all do the same thing for the same 2 weeks, we'd be half way back to "0".
No one knows how long it will take or how many 2 weeks we will go through to get to the other side.
I do know from past experience that it doesn't end,
but it does turn around.
Things become better in a couple weeks, then they get even better a couple weeks later and it continues until.....
I've had 2 years of 'home sweet home' after too many years of living in hell.
So give it a couple more weeks. .... We'll get through this.
Blessed by God,
