And? Pants clearly restricts many important functions in human life. Do you feel somehow restricted that you have to take them off to perform them? Does this somehow restrict you that you can't go nearly anywhere without pants? No, because you are used to them, as you are correctly stating. Yes, masks are new and I completely understand that wearing a mask in public is a nuisance. But that is all. There is no need to have complete mental meltdown because of it like too many people appear to have. It is all in heads. There is no need to stress about it. People in Japan have mask wearing custom for long time and they do just fine and we would also survive this. Eventually it will be over. Very likely soon because the cases are going down almost everywhere by now.

> There is no need to have complete mental meltdown because of it like too many people appear to have. It is all in heads. There is no need to stress about it. One difference between humans and animals is that we have the capability to understand abstract concepts, and we can make value judgements that there are some things that are more important than satisfying the basic necessities for survival. I'd say that we should be glad that there are always some people who find human freedom to be one of those values worth stressing out and pushing for. The world would be a far worse place if there was never any pushback against blindly following bad orders. That's about it. You've chosen your place and I've chosen mine.

  Right. I do not see any contradiction between using masks and freedom. During difficult times some changes are necessary so we could return back to normal faster and with less impact.
