I know that the virus has induced panic and anxiety to almost everyone. Because who's not afraid of contamination and dying because of the virus?
Right from the start of this contagion, I have long accepted that our lives are temporary and borrowed. One day, the one we call our own will be taken from us and we will eventually turn into ashes.
At these times that we are facing a dreadful enemy that has slain thousands from the world's population, being able to open our eyes means a blessing and a new beginning.
Closing our eyes at night to sleep and being unable to open it the following day denotes death. So, one of the things that I learned amidst COVID-19 PANDEMIC is the value of my eyes every time it opens in the morning.
WHY?
Because it doesn't just count as a blessing nor a new beginning, but it signifies life. A life that strikes another realization that no matter how an evildoer I am, GOD will always be generous to offer me the greatest gift of all.
Since then, I already learned to value my life and do everything in order to thrive. I already aimed that as long as my eyes remains open, I have to cherish every second of it. I have to do the things that makes me happy, alive and free. Things that surely, I will regret if I hinder myself to do so. I know that my time is running and it will stop anytime, so as long as it ticks, I have to spend it the way that I'll be happy despite the panic that the virus has caused me.
I guess the virus might be direful enough to wipe a large segment of the world's populatiom, but I can ascertain that my redeemer is omnipotent. He will carry me, like how he carried the world.
Well, this is actually the greatest lesson that I've learned after receiving the greatest gift of all.
