Life is Getting Tougher
Life is beautiful and living is a gift. I know we should always be grateful and I know we are always trying to be.
The Coronavirus is still here. The pandemic has not ended yet. Our hospitals all over the world are still under pressure maybe not as much when this starts. But many are still dying. Many are still out of their jobs. Many are still having a hard time putting food on the table and keeping the roof over their family's heads. The pandemic hit the world and we are all devastated beyond words. We thought that was the worst but the worst is yet to come.
Not even done with the virus, the cost of living went up. The electric, supermarket prices, oil, petrol, everything went up. It skyrockets! And what does it mean to the poor and middle class? When there's no job available, how are they going to provide? How will they keep themselves afloat?
We recently bought oil for heating the house. Just 1800 litres for 3 months cost us £1320! If this keeps going on, I don't know how can we cope. We don't have deep pockets. And the petrol? £1.79 this morning. £125 for a full tank!!!
And this war? You turn on the tv and watch the news. You can't help but feel sorry for the innocent civilians most especially the old and the young ones. In a shelter laying close to each other in a small room while their mothers can only watch them sleep while they think of the future of their beloved. All those died. All those have to fight for their country even they don't have proper training. All those scared for their lives. All those left their homes and flee to other countries and shelters some without their husband, some with their families broken by war. For what?!
I saw a child may be the age of Tia or even younger. He is crying while walking alone. No visible adult with him and also with the rest of the other Ukrainians trying to cross another country. It is so sad. It is so hard breaking.
Life is getting tougher. We know and we can feel it. The paper bills now feel like coins. And how hard to earn it and how quickly it goes. We can't even keep it in our hands for too long and sometimes it's already spent before we have it.
Life is getting tougher so I say to you my friend that you should too. And don't let the adversities of life take away the heart in you. Hardships shall pass. The economy will be back to its glory. We will have enough to cope. The pandemic will come to its end. The war will end in peace talk. We rebuild the house, we rebuild our lives. But for those who lost their lives and those who were left behind, I know acceptance will be hard. But I say that God above has a plan for everything and every one of us. May He consoles your heart.
It's easy to say and write but life is already tough. But darling, YOU ARE TOUGHER. You have a brave heart.
Thank you for reading.
It's so sad having to see people suffering hard in this life. Everything seems to get tougher every single day but do we have a choice? No! We just have to keep trusting God for the best because sooner or later, everything will come back to normal. Thanks for sharing ma
