it IS about being a good citizen, but it's not about boosting my ego because of it. Or "feeling good" because I'm being a good citizen, or whatever you would like to call it.I believe the majority of people are still wearing them are doing it for the feel goods they are getting from being such a good citizen.
Here in Hawaii, the aloha is everywhere... Most people are thinking of others, trying to keep others safe. I wear my mask because the elders of my island deserve to be kept safe, and they don't need to worry about if I am vaccinated, or not> because I will be wearing my mask anyway. For me, and for most people here, it's about reassuring others that they are safe. That they don't need to worry about ME giving them Covid, because they don't know that I am vaccinated. it's aloha. be kind to others, be kind to yourself. i will be good to my island, to it's people, and I will continue to wear my mask.
(none of this is directed at you @shawluvsbirds, just wanted to share my opinion on the reasons behind mask wearing *or the reason I wear a mask, I guess)
