“And of Clay are We Created” is a story that connects to our current world. In the story, a volcano erupts and disrupts people’s sane life. Like our reality, people panic much so during the time of crisis. They start worrying about what can happen in the future. Will life ever be the same again? Well, these are the questions we may never have answers for. The trajectory of future is no doubt out of our control. So why worry about them :)? All we ever have is NOW. Personally speaking, I try to focus on what I have control of. I cannot control how COVID-19 is affecting my life, but I can control how to react to it. Look at positive things that are still around us. Embrace the extra time we get to spend with our families that we normally do not get to enjoy. Cherish that ozone layer is healing because of the significance reduction in CO2 emission.
The world is going through a lot for sure. People are losing jobs, families, their own lives… but we got to keep living. Live for the ones we have lost during this pandemic; live for the ones we still get to be around; and live for the day when all of this is over. Bad times always end. Until then, just breathe a little deeper and you will find your peace of mind!
Actually the healing of ozone layer has nothing to do with the reduction of CO2 emissions. Sorry for the misleading information!
Ryan – Luckily for you, I would not have caught that misinformation! And regardless of its causes, we are enjoying a (probably temporary) improvement in our air quality. Thanks for this reminder to focus on what we can control and to accept the things that are beyond our control.
