Regarding the yoga studio sued for COVID violations, I began to sense the symbolic life of Americans: Those who follow common sense, and those who feel self-entitled (“Yoga studio sued for COVID violations” in the Jan. 22 edition of the Daily Journal). Americans are sick, but instead of resting and recovering, they are denying the fact that they are ill. Not only that, Americans choose to live life as normal when a certain down time is needed. Although not all Americans are truly self-entitled, there are more than enough to tip the scale. Just look at the gold medals we have gotten since 2020: first place in number of COVID cases and first place in number of deaths in the world.
There is nothing to blame but blame itself. Small businesses need clients to have the financial cycle. We should not solely blame the owners, but also the patrons who completed the picture here. Why should these self-entitled patrons have the rights not to be sued as well?
Besides, I though those practicing yoga advocates harmony, tranquility and rhythm. Yet I don’t know how self-entitlement got into yoga. Perhaps the stretching and the big breaths inhaled such element within, virus or not. There is now a thing more dangerous than the virus itself — entitlement. Survival of the fittest passes on the genes with better common sense.
I especially loved it when the yoga studio owner went after Supervisor Canepa. Now all of a sudden Gavin opens the entire state and the author of this letter has the audacity to blame patrons for doing yoga. Face it, the shut-down made no sense and even the governor of California knows that. Sorry Stanley, your letter was ill-timed.
Mr. Peng, if you’re feeling left out please feel free to sue all of your so-called self-entitled patrons. I have noticed that you talk about self-entitlement being dangerous, yet you feel self-entitled to lecture us about not living life as normal. Have you forgotten your so-called leaders, state and federal, didn’t bother with masks, after telling us masks are mandatory? Actually, it sounds like a yoga session should be your next move. A little harmony and tranquility would do you some good. BTW, I’m looking forward to reading about you donating much, if not all, of your assets to those small businesses who still have expenses to deal with, but no income. Thanks in advance.
