You must remember this, a kiss is still a kiss. Or is it?
A couple in the northern Italian
city of Milan has been fined 400 euros by police after they—gasp!-- kissed
each other in public, violating COVID-19 regulations.
The
“incident” occurred on October 9th when the couple, a 40-year-old Italian man
and his Polish fiancée, left their house to stroll to a local restaurant. While
walking hand in hand, they kissed each other…and were almost immediately
surrounded by police. The officers interrogated the couple noting that they had
different addresses on their identification documents, according to the
newspaper Il Giornale. Local regulations stipulate that people in public must remain a
minimum of several feet away from each other if they are not wearing a mask,
unless they are living together, so the polizia di stato promptly issued the fine, despite the man producing
photographic evidence that the couple had been engaged for more than two years.
The man is appealing the fine…thank the Lord.
The
fundamental things [still] apply as time goes by, do they not? No matter what
else transpires, no matter how bad things get, the world will always welcome
lovers…right? Apparently not.
If we have even lost the
ability to keep politics and “science” out of our romance and our kisses, we
have lost our humanity, our soul.
COVID-19
won’t be the end of us, but our elites/experts/leaders/rulers reactions to it might
make us wish that it was. It is entirely possible, masked up and locked down,
that we may be spared death…only to fervently wish we hadn’t been.
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
On that you can rely
That no one can deny
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
