With the enormity of the danger of the COVID-19 that is
now threatening the whole world, We are like kind of fragile, weak and sickly
as a flower slowly eaten away by a hidden worm. Yet, a good attitude to adopt
is displaying our nerves of steel. But on a positive note, our situation now
gives us the opportunity to provide a kind of scaffolding for people to make
sense of our individual lives and of our collective lives.
True enough, when one of us is threatened we are all at
risk. We are all involved in this journey called life. So, let’s keep an eye
out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another. This is
because each of us is a vital thread in another person’s tapestry.
If there’s a silver lining to this sad sordid picture
we’ve had right now, it is that the Filipinos are becoming more acquainted with
the pain, the struggles, and the sacrifices we are all experiencing, and the
need for us to continue to wrap our arms around each of us as brothers and
sisters. We are all devastated with fear and everyone must help each other
worked through our grief.
