How am I supposed to make this a way of living? How am I
supposed to take this behavior and act as if it is normal? Well, I don’t have
the answers to these questions, but what I do know is that we are not alone.
We, individuals, are like the small puzzle pieces of a magnificent picture. So,
we shall not feel abandoned in this situation, rather we shall remember we are
all in this together!
The whole world is being affected by this crisis, businesses are
shutting down, our economies and governments are getting weaker, professionals
are losing their jobs, etc. But we are not and will not give up.
Furthermore, think about all of those global concerns that
have shaken the world earlier in history and changed it all in all. For
instance, the Spanish Flu of 1918, or the 9/11 of 2001. Thus, through all these
crises humanity stayed imperishable, and faced them with a determined face and
kept moving forward. So, that is what we should do during these tough times.
And process the fact that it is going to be like this for quite some time, and
not use this pandemic as an excuse or make it a barrier that is stopping us
from thriving. Instead, make it our strength to move forward and to
prosper.
With that in mind, there are many fun and productive ways we can
spend at home to help us recover from the devastating environment around us. We
can use this time productively by learning new skills or perfecting old skills,
obtaining new hobbies, spending quality time with family, spending some time
academically, etc. By contrast, we should not waste all of this precious time
that we have been offered unproductively, instead, we should be looking for new
ways to better ourselves. Nonetheless, in my opinion, the most significant
thing we should be doing at this time is reflecting on ourselves and thinking
about how we can become better humans for ourselves and our communities.
To sum it up, these times can be very challenging, but we can
always try to use these times to our advantage, and become stronger people who
can fight through these challenges and come out of them valiantly.
“Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run
into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go
through it, or work around it.”
