We are capable of beating virus
To the editor:
This is out of the normal for me; however, as I have recently become a year older, it has caused me to do some self-reflecting in my life.
I realize the regrets I have for the mistakes I’ve made and I’m grateful for the things I got right, and try to be better at who I am as an individual, which leads to this observation during this national and world health and economic crisis.
As we all continue this journey through overcoming the coronavirus challenges, take time to reflect on personal responsibility and ask yourself if you are doing your part in serving the greater good as an individual in this crisis. Adversity really does introduce us to ourselves, by exposing the strengths or weaknesses of our soul, our character, and our empathy for the betterment of others.
While I observe the daily division of political discourse that has been injected into this national health crisis by politicians, media pundits and at times everyday citizens, I can’t help but ask, is this who we are as citizens and is this the message we are sending the world as the greatest and free nation on earth?
History is being changed by this deadly virus, our fellow citizens are suffering and families are grieving at the loss of loved ones, our everyday way of life is being challenged. I can’t help but think, this is the time for all of us to self-reflect as Americans and determine our part in building a better path forward. The one thing that we all have in common is hope, with hope comes the faith and belief in each other.
This is evident in those who are committed every day to bring us through this crisis and minimize the damage and pain this has caused. We all have a role to play in ending this virus and the unfortunate consequences that have been brought upon our great nation.
Together as individual citizens, as communities and as a nation, we can bring unity to our efforts in sending this virus straight back to Hell where it belongs.
God Bless America.
