It depends on your perspective on life. If you've already lived the vast majority of yours, you are perhaps not going to mind spending the rest of it locked in your living room with the TV for company.
If you're in your teens or 20s, have spent the last 15 years in school, and have only just started living your life, I think it's totally unfair to be branded as "selfish" for not wanting to remain indoors and be unable to enjoy the sort of freedom that everyone else has enjoyed.
I think, at worst, we might have a winter break. I can't see us going back to the sort of restrictions we had previously. If we do there will be huge revolt now.
I can only speak for myself.
I have lived the vast majority of my years.
I am really pissed off with these restrictions.
But I will carry on obeying them. Life is precious. It is precious at 64, as I am now, it was precious when I was 24 and if I am spared, it will be precious when I am 94.
It's not unfiar to brand many young people as selfish. They are. What is perhaps unfair is that those of us starting to clock up a fair few miles too easily forget that in our younger days, we too, were selfish.
I do understand why so many people are tired of the restrictions. Nonetheless we are in a war. And for me, the way to end the restrictions is to win the war.
