Thoughts on this Pandemic

This pandemic has taken so much from us.

It has turned our world into a disturbing pause, where silence is the only noise we can hear.

It has introduced us to this so-called new normal where nothing is normal at all.

People have been obliged to work from home, while some have been forced to leave their jobs.

Stores and big establishments have been closed for some were labeled as unnecessary. They have stopped earning and so were their people.

Problems on mental health have started to rise and the effect is nothing to be happy about, scary.

The colorful and noisy cities and rendezvous have lost their colors, lifeless.

National examinations and other opportunities have been postponed putting the dreamers' dreams on hold.

Waves of laughter have turned into fear and people are have been left with no options.

Millions and thousands of people of different races, ages, and status grieve for their loved ones who have lost their lives mostly out of sacrifice.

The effects have become worse and it seems like the virus has won against us.

This has to stop, but how?

How do we find solutions in this time of different problems?

How do we keep our faith in these trying times?

How do we become brave when fear has started to conquer us?

How do we provide help if we, ourselves, need help?

How do we compose ourselves when the enemy targets not only physical but also mental health?

How do we stay positive if we don't want to be tested positive?

How do we fight an enemy that is out of sight?

Lastly, how should we live our lives if this pandemic has taken so much of us?

I don't have the answers to these loads of questions, but I know, we will win this battle.
