Is this a politician or just caused by the pandemic?

Hmmm. This doesn't look like the current one or the previous one...........

In fact I don't think it looks at all like Dr. Fauci.

AND by the way. I am a huge fan of Dr. Fauci and always on the side of science. AND I like my Red shirts and other red accessories. I had to be born a fiscal conservatives since I was born in 1939. I have voted for both sides and loved the Kennedy's but as I get older I grew wiser.

I did not have Fauci in mind when I posted, but now that you mention it.......

That is mostly a blue lizard, carrying the burden of the red-marked butterfly. Obviously symbolic.

I see a purple and green lizard carrying an orange and black butterfly. Or is the butterfly actually attempting to LIFT the lizard? Or, perhaps the lizard is carrying his meal as he is off to work? Symbolic? Reaching is more like it.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit, is it original ? If not, please post the original source or author if you would.

People need to get back to live and let live, love their neighbors in spite of the decisions they make for their lives, their circumstances.... it frees the spirit and allows the person who makes this decision to also be free to enjoy life and others.

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

Perhaps a goal. I live in reality. I believe, in judging ALL by the same rules. Sadly, that is not true of many. For too many, thou shalt not steal is you should not steal from me but it is fine for me to steal from you. The definition of theft? That too is freely tied into a knot till it is thou shalt not steal from me but I have the right to take from you. We tend to tie reality into a knot. Many freely use religion to think they are right.

No, it's the red butterfly trying desperately to slow down the blue lizard of destruction.
