Well-

It has certainly been an interesting week full of many uncertainties, a whole bunch of fear, a sprinkle of panic, a lot of stress but much togetherness. In fact, admidst all of this, it has been refreshing to see many individuals come together. Like, colleagues who barely talk to on another, or a lot of group chats or small texts from friends we may have not talked to in a while or phone call conversations with people we don't usually converse with via the phone. 

It is a strange thing how individuals react when things are beyond control. But I think even more interesting is this idea that we do tend to need togetherness when the going gets tough. Except, I think sometimes people forget that..the going is often tough and maybe life requires more togetherness than just at these types of moments. 

If anything, this is a reminder that life really is fearing. And sometimes, things are indeed beyond our control or even comprehension. So lend a friend a hand. Hear what someone has to say. Actively listen instead of talking over. And remember that this is the one time you can truly offer empathy because essentially, we are all going through this same time together. 

So that is what is important.
