It is quite an unforgettable period for humanity combined with uncertainty as the Covid-19 virus took its toll the world over. When will the numbers be enough for us to find the cure that will gain safe control over the situation? How long will it take when the normalcy we are expecting will be established?
Reality check: we are in danger and yet we still do not have a concrete direction to proceed with the right course of action. Who will decide for us and who will do it for us?
The pandemic has already caused too much worry to many. At a glance we are looking at life with contemplation of the uncertain. If all of us will be in a like predicament, it will not mean that the world will stop turning and will remain on a stand still. We can always look back at the past when there was war, famine, pestilence, draught, hunger and natural calamities. Many were affected but they never gave up on hope. Looking at them closely, most of the time during the events that took place, man as a wonderful creation has always looked for remedies to preserve life. They never gave up trying to restore life as it is. The key to the finding of remedies is always in us no more, no less it is us.
As long as the world can keep itself away from anarchy, we can do much as us. Let us not forget, that we are created with a purpose. All of us are wonderfully made to enjoy and be thankful for the beauty and abundance of life.
We can live each day as an opportune gift of time no matter how uncertain. Life has to be lived one day at a time. Let not the times of uncertainty change the wonderful perspective on how we look at life. As if it is the first ever time to make the most out of it, let us start with it.
We have to consider ourselves far from being just a solitary individual, when we can be the spark of light that can bring hope to everybody who needs it. We can also be a catalyst that will prove that love can conquer all. It will not take that much out of us to be a living testimony of faith that all things will soon be well. Once and for all, it is time to show those who are in the verge of early resignation the oasis in a dry and arid place and the road that leads to the land overflowing with milk and honey.
