(Pt.2)
But through all of this, we have seen the kind souls of generous and hospital people. Organizations have stepped up to donate thousands of dollars to others in need. People start to explore their surroundings, appreciate the Earth's beautiful landscape. People say hello to their neighbors, form online communities, and take the time out of their day to help or surprise someone else. Through this we've learned to adapt, and refocus our minds on the truly important aspects of our lives. I view it as something like a "global reset". But most importantly, we've learned how to work together. We've rediscovered that crucial value to our trait as a human being.
A lot of things happened in 2020, not all good, not all bad. But 2021 can be the time that we change things. A time we realize that more good comes out of us working together, rather than fighting to obtain our pride and reputations. I'm speechless because this is something we still have to teach people. I'm speechless that this is something our culture does not approve of, that instead it tries to turn us against one another simply for the drama of it all. On the flip side though, I'm speechless of how many good hearted and kind soul there are in the world. I'm speechless on how many people stood up, whether to protect everyone else from the virus, in politics, or helping out a struggling buisness/charity. It's truly amazing to watch this.
I'm not saying the world is perfect, and of course every situation has it's pages covered in asterics. Have your opinions! Voice them! They are what make you a unique individual! But also be able to take a step back and see the bigger picture with an open mind, to remember that there's always another story you're unaware of.
