It's Time ...

I was thinking that it's time for everyone to put differences aside ... become closer in mind as we won't be able to in person now. Each day now we are seeing so many things closing here due to the coronavirus. People are asked to self-quarantine, stay home. We are staying home though we aren't sick. This is one time living on a limited income helps ... we have to be conserving of our gas, any monies left at this time of month. It could save our life in one respect. Every day, night as we constantly monitor the national news, local news ... I see fingers pointing ... blaming someone for this new virus. Gracious ... the time, words wasted to do that. I don't understand why not replace all that negative with positive. Here in NC ... we still don't have the tests needed at all. Sadly, it's the same all over in the whole country. We are behind ... that amazes me because we are the ones who are the world's role model on a lot of things. Our country used to be very respected ... everyone wanted to come here. So ... we are the ones who are last in testing ... a few tests here, a few tests there. It saddens me ... what happened to us? No, don't tell me as I don't want to argue, discuss politics. This ... I don't do ... period. Our coronavirus cases have jumped up to 17 as of this morning in NC (all aren't far away from us) ... yesterday was 12 ... then 14. I 'know in my heart' there are many more ... only time is going to tell. I feel if they told how many they really are aware of ... they fear it would cause panic. I am seeing something that gives me some comfort as there are hungry children everywhere. They can stop, run and grab, go with food at some schools while the schools are closed. This is food children otherwise wouldn't have when at home, it could be all they get in a day. I was thinking this morning this virus should make a positive difference as well as its negative effects ... in the way of making people become more 'one' with each other. You know, not to let the color of our skin ... our political views ... our religion ... our race and such things get in the way. Guess what? We are people ... we are all people who have the same dreams, heartaches, we all bleed red blood ... we feel pain. I was thinking as divided as everyone has become in our country ... that the coronavirus doesn't know the difference between a democrat or republican, one race from another, what God we believe in ... and such. This ... we aren't divided in ... I wonder if people realize that. We all in this new world are sort of on an equal playing field. The virus doesn't pick, choose according to our beliefs, lifestyles, color or race ... rich or poor. What I'm trying to say is I hope somehow as bad, negative, awful this coronavirus is ... positive can come from it, make people human again ... caring about the other. I hope the bullying, rudeness, mean things will stop. I understand that it all can't all of a sudden become good ... people are human. Some thrive on fighting, fighting wars ... killing, spilling blood. I can still hope this negative can bring positive or it all will happen in vain... no one be the better for it. That's my hope. This is the time for people to become good people ... yes, even bad people become good people, too.
