Never Forget

 Never Forget

 No doubt this pandemic has changed and will change a lot of things in our world. But more importantly, I hope that we will take a moment to see beyond the threats, all   the opportunities it may have given us to fill the gaps in our homes, relationships,   families and systems. I know this too will pass – it’s not a cliché. May we however, never forget the labor of our heroes past and present;

•   The health care professionals who are combatting with this disease daily, risking their lives to save the world;
• Our teachers and teaching volunteers who have creatively and painstakingly created multiple channels for continuous learning – especially for children living in disadvantaged and poor communities;
• Individuals, non-profits and organisations who have pooled their resources or single handedly supported in providing relief materials for vulnerable communities;
• People who have shown random act of kindness; be it a smile, a wave, prayer or just soul lifting contents, trying to tone down the fear and panic;
• Those construction workers and volunteers who have been working tirelessly to build more temporary health care/quarantine facilities;
• Donors and Leaders who have taken initiatives to make tough decisions in order to save lives;
• Supermarkets and essential-product providers, who have chosen not to exploit customers this season – I know a few of them and grateful for their thoughtfulness.
•  Parents who have had to joggle all sorts, from worrying about providing for the family, being a concerned employee/employer ; and a home tutor to their kids;
• Those who are kind and thoughtful enough to check up on friends and even random people online;
• People who are responsible enough to stay at home and help stop the spread whilst following other safety pre-cautions.
• Those who sadly passed – you fought, we know.

You all are heroes in this moment that would soon become history shared to guide the future.  May we not forget what it meant for us to pause, slow down, take a break, breathe, smile, be vulnerable, kind, compassionate, unified and above all human – simply humans who sought deeply after the supreme being, after all seemed to fail.

May we never forget.
