It has been an era where most of us got house arrested due to COVID-19. This spiky virus only knows how to inflict pain and loss. As COVID-19 learns to live like humans, it somehow became a teacher for some, especially those who survived from it.
If COVID-19 is a teacher, it would teach us to unlearn everything we know, to go back to a blank slate. It teaches us that to appreciate the beauty of live, we must first know its ugliness. To be grateful means we have to experience loss. The reshaped reality is now full of people longing for physical interaction, which most took for granted before.
Many people now started to love and respect their parents out of fear that they might be “coronafied”. Many people aim to better themselves for the pandemic showed them how short life is, so they have to savor every moment. Most importantly, many people started to pray again for hope that this dark age will soon end.
As teacher, COVID-19 exposed us to the things we took for granted, but encourages us to take a step back and have a glimpse of everything and everyone we must be grateful for.
