Thoughts on Pandemic
I didn't write this, but I agree with it.
Imagine you were born in 1900…
1914-1918–22 million dead
1918-1920/Spanish flu—50 million dead
1929—Global Economic Crisis
1933—Nazi power
1939-1945—World War II/60 million dead
1952—Korean War
1964-1975—Vietnam War
A child born in 1985 thinks his grandparents have no idea how difficult life is, but they have survived several wars and catastrophes.
Today we have all the comforts in our new world, amid a new pandemic. But we complain because we need to wear masks. We complain because we had to stay confined to our homes where we had food, electricity, running water, wifi, and even Netflix.
None of that existed back in the day. But humanity survived those circumstances and never lost their joy of living.
A small change in our perspective can generate miracles. We should be thankful that we are alive. We should do everything we need to do to protect and help each other.
This message should help everyone. Please help spread it.
