Hey, surely pandemics have always been with us right?, and as I should also say they are going to be with us. Let us face it there is another virus somewhere waiting to happen and I don't mean to scare anyone but to show what is actually reality.
To be honest with ourselves the pandemics that do happen or will happen are usually 99% our faults caused by our negligence, carelessness, and so forth but also through good intentions like trying to experiment with a bunch of drugs to find a better one.
Anyway, it should not be an excuse, as pandemics bring all the negative things that we all know yet funny enough through pandemics man has come out more capable and better with a drug to kill that virus and keep the virus in its place so to speak.
But as much as pandemics come packed with all the negative stuff we should not forget all the good they come with. what do I mean you ask? pandemics come with their fair share of good talk the Covid 19 pandemic for instance I would say has come with quite a good amount of good (pun intended).
Talk of e-commerce booming but that is just the tip of the ice and sugar in this cake of "good" the tasty part is the personal lessons that the pandemic has taught some of us if not all of us. I mean I think one thing that stands out, in particular, is that life is too short I know it is so cliche, but how often do we take it seriously? I say rarely.
People die every day I mean the reason that someone that just died somewhere in the world is just that, that is what it is. We can just say we are fortunate it is not you and me. I mean no one wants to think about this, leave alone talk about it but when a pandemic happens or some tragedy it is when we realize "thank God."
By the way, do not get it twisted almost everyone if not all people want to live no matter how short this life is but also it is fair to say, we do not see that until it is right at our face I mean when you think about hitting six feet under you can only appreciate how good and meaningful life is.
As I conclude just remember life will always happen we are not in control in fact this has never been more evident this year than any other time. But please do not get me wrong I am not advocating for them just being real here. The question is what are you coming out of a tragedy with? what has it taught you? As you reflect back and ponder on the question you might be surprised by what you might come up with.
