(I remember writing this reaction paper last year and until now, the emotions are still the same. No new. Still left with the questions when will it end? Or will it really end?)
Million of positive cases. Thousands of mortality. But only few had recovered from this pandemic. And yes, it is just so alarming that we are facing this kind of situation right now. An unexpected health crisis and still an uncurable deadly virus.
Fear, doubts, sadness, and even anger are the emotions that I am actually feeling right now. Emotions that I don't even know where will it send me. Mixed emotions that I've never thought will come this far.
Fear because we cannot even see our real enemy. Fear that anytime I might be infected. Fear that this virus might be the reason that I will lose one of my love ones.
Doubts for when will it end or will it really end. Doubts to the Government's ability in solving this health crisis. Doubts for the people if they can behave and react accordingly to solve this problem.
Sadness for those people who sacrifice their lives just to save someone. Sadness for those Frontliners who cannot even hug their family. Sadness for the people who had lost their love ones. Sadness for those family who are starving to death because of the lockdown. Sadness beacuse of the question that why is it happening all over the world and no one can even give an answer.
And anger as to where this deadly virus originated. Anger for those people who took advantage in this kind of situation.
Am I that coward to feel fear? Am I that weak to feel sadness? Am I that bad to be angry? Or these emotions are just normal and all valid to feel during these days? Yes, it is just normal and valid. But am I just going to sit and let these emotions eat me? What am I going to do? What can I contribute?
As a simple countrymen of the Philippines, we can do more to help solve this problem. And by just staying home and following all the rules implemented by the government lone can be a big help for everyone. It can actually save someone. And aside from staying home and following the rules, having hope and prayer are the only antidote we have knowing that there still no cure to this dosease.
Hope and Prayer. It may seem simple for some of us but that's the only weapon we have to fight and to continue living. Hope and prayer that this pandemic will soon end Hope and prayer that maybe God has a reason why He put us in this kind of situation. Hoping and praying that soon everything will fall into places. Hoping and praying that everything will be back to normal again. Where there is no more thousands of deaths. No more viruses. And no pandemic.
In this kind of battle that we have right now, we must not be drained by our emotions. We must not let this virus drag us all down. Instead, we must use this to be stronger. We should use this to strengthen our faith. For I know that God will never give us an obstacle that we cannot overcome.
