NOTES FROM THE INSIDE #3
Fred Rogers once said “Look For The
Helpers.”
It seems to me that people are
looking for more negative things to say about this situation than they are
positive things. I get it, these are scary times and it does seem that every
other country in the world is taking care of the virus situation before we can,
but there are many things that are happening in response to this virus.
I heard about professional athletes
organizing drives to get food to help victims of the virus and celebrities and
other people getting together to help people through this time. Yes we are
going through some bad times right now, especially with China and South Korea
seeming to get a handle on this situation faster than our country can, but even
in the darkest of times there are glimmers of hope to be found, we just have to
know where to look for them.
Now more than ever we need to “Look
For The Helpers” and perhaps even become helpers ourselves, because when we
work together and help each other we can get through any panic and any dark
time like the one we are currently in.
When it is over and this virus is
gone however, we cannot forget what happened because of it, how many people
have suffered, gotten sick or died because of this virus because if we do, we
won’t be prepared for when and if this happens again.
