Pandemic

              These are some dark times that we are living. We, not just you and me, the whole world. Rich or poor. Young or old. Here or there.

               Who´s to blame? Who are the victims? No one. As humans we always need to blame someone. We have the tendency to think that we are better than the other. If something happens to us, we compare ourselves to the next person and ask: `Why me? ´ ´What did I do to deserve this? ´ `Why not so and so, he/she is always doing something wrong? ´

               The fact is that there is no one to blame. There are no victims. We are on this planet to grow and become better humans. We are born and then we die; what we do in between is up to each and every one of us. It does not matter what the other person does or does not do, we need to focus on what we do for ourselves and for others.

               The Corona Virus is here to teach us something that we still have not learned, which is up to each person to know what that is. For some it might be caring for the others. For others it might be caring for one´s self.  For some it might be that human relationships are more valuable than material things. For some it might be sharing. For others to see who you can really count on.

           It is time to reflect.

Time to distance yourself from everyone so that you can stop the invisible enemy.

Time to reach out to others through medias (Thank goodness for that): video calls, telephone, cell phone or even through a simple window.

 Time to learn something new.

 Time to read those books that you have set aside for when you have the time; now, you have the time.

Time to offer your services to those who cannot leave their homes.

Time to call the elders in the family and say that you love them and also not to hesitate to call you when they feel lonely.

Time to reach out to your friends and tell them how much you care.

We are all in this together.

This too shall pass.

Stay safe and God bless.
