The good side of the COVID-19 situation
Yes, hundreds of thousands of people have died. But we have also learned some important lessons and changed some very bad habits during this period. And that is very significant for our future…
I understand that the title of this article may be a little conflicting, to say the least. For many people, it may even be triggering. This virus suddenly came out of nowhere at the end of 2019 and has literally changed everything. It has taken things away from us. Changed our lives, made us live in fear and in many cases even took the lives of people. And it’s such a transmittable disease that people weren’t even able to say goodbye to their dead… they were simply buried away from everyone, like some lowlife or criminal.
But even though we now live in such an environment where one wrong move may inadvertently cause the hospitalization or even death of thousands of others, we can still choose to look at the positive side of it all. I realize that if you’re one of the the people who was unfortunate enough to lose someone close to you due to the virus, that may be increasingly difficult to even think of, but there have been many changes in the way we act, think or even move within our daily lives that were forced upon us by this situation yet should still remain even when all this becomes nothing more than a distant memory.
