Our Resilience Tested

Tweet

We are still in the thick of the pandemic with our lifestyle upended. Some are clutching at straws hoping against hope while others seem to have taken it in their stride. No one saw it coming, so much for futurists credentials. We have to work around the virus for now taking it a part of our lives, a real pain though. It has tested not only our own but even countries’ psychological build up to face the reality. Our priority is to stay alive till the storm blows over and take cover, precautions. Ultimately, it is up to us not to add to the numbers or end up with our health severely impaired. It is not a bad dream but a harsh reality. That we still find meaning in our lives says a lot about our outlook and mettle. We may not have a choice but we manage to stick to basics to survive and adjust. It has boiled down to a battle of survival. Yes, it is high drama at times with hopes and despair alternating but that is life. This is a bit high stake dodging the bullet while out in the open. Every generation has to go through a baptism of fire and prove that they are made of sterner stuff than what we think when times are good. Hopefully, what we go through will fortify us and help us refocus so that we are better prepared to face whatever is ahead. Lying low is needed at times to save our skin; back to the wall it is now and for a good reason too. Our forefathers fought braving tougher times and climes, we should in turn pass on the baton after a worthy fight to set an example for those yet to come.
