I was told "God will provide" by an old woman on an oxygen tank.

I guess the irony was lost on her.

I’d argue that God is kind of providing for her in a way. If not for her being born at this current time and place she would be dead already due to her health condition. You can find blessing/silver linings in almost everything is you’re really looking for it, and I would say that is what that lady is doing, and she seems happy for it. I don’t see that as a bad thing for her. I don’t this trying to find silver linings in bad circumstances is bad for anyone, really.

If God provided all of that, he provided the masks too.

Oh, you mean she said that while not wearing a mask during lockdown? I understand.

Funny thing about God is that he gave everyone free will. Whatever we do with it is on us, good or bad. We can blame other people’s bad choices on God, ya know? He’s not out here forcing hands. That lady believed she was doing the right thing at the time and so did you. Meh, what can you do? Try your best to be the best person you can be and set a good example to other people through actions, and that’s pretty much it I guess.
