Because one refuses to accept the fact that they have the disease (in reference to diabetes). I’ve seen it.
“You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.” You want to. You want to pour it down his throat so he won’t die. Yet all you can do is stand by and watch as the enviable happens; wondering how anyone could be that stupid.
The same is true of the virus. We know it’s real. We can see people around us getting sick. Even so many people refuse to accept it. They stick their heads in the sand and pretend it’s not there. “If I can’t see it, it doesn’t exist”. They’re like little kids - “Billy, don’t play in traffic.” “NO! I can do as I please!” “Johnny, wear this mask when you’re outside so you’ll be safe.” “NO! You can’t make me!” “Suzie, take this vaccine so you won’t get sick! “NO! You’re not the boss of me!” However, they’re not kids they’re grown adults, adults who should know better. We just shake our heads in disbelief, watching in horror as the enviable happens - Billy, bouncing off the hood of a car; Johnny lying in a hospital with tubes down his throat; Suzie’s casket being lowered into the ground. Why wouldn’t they listen? How could they be so stupid?
