THE DANGERS OF SOCIAL DISTANCING
Social distancing, isolation, loneliness, etc. (Similar and dangerous words).
In this story, this king put walls so that no one could enter or leave the city.
Walls can serve to protect, but they can also serve to isolate.
The greatest danger of Covid are the different consequences of social isolation.
I read seven dangers of isolation mentioned by Doctor Daniel Amen.
I will mention two:
1.- Increased risk of developing ALZHEIMERS and dementia. A study in 2018 with 12 thousand people showed that people who suffer from isolation have a 40% higher risk of developing dementia.
2.- Risks in physical health. The risks of physical health problems in people who don’t have social relationships are similar to those of someone who smokes 15 cigarettes a day.
Summary: We were not created for loneliness and isolation.
Let’s keep our relationships healthy with God and with our spiritual family, even if it’s online for now; But let’s stay connected
Think about it:
Have you isolated yourself in these times?
Have you maintained your relationship with God?
How are you still connected to your spiritual family?
Do you connect to the services and online house of peace?
