2021: Seven moments that told us things are going to be okay
For a moment, frailties of life weighed on us heavily, but we were quick to rise above our fears, ego and greed.
This isn’t the first pandemic on Earth. And this wouldn’t be the last one either. Humanity has endured calamities and diseases that have wiped out billions of lives over centuries that homo sapiens can think back.
What makes it different this time is the camaraderie we were armed with in fighting the deadly pathogen. Coronavirus was just one of the disasters that befell us this year. There were wars. There were cyclones and tornadoes. There were famine and drought. For a moment, frailties of life weighed on us heavily, but we were quick to rise above our fears, ego and greed. Moment when humanity reinvented itself. We relearned to dream, hope, love, care, smile, empathise, and celebrate small things. We shall overcome, together.
