Something we must accept, COVID is thwarting everyone


The coronavirus isn’t yet endemic, but there is something that is.  There are so many experts, and every one of them thinks they’re right.  What’s endemic is COVID is thwarting everyone.

I truly feel for any leader currently where the only true and helpful sight is hindsight.

The divisions in our society more aptly reflect the dis-ease, which is an inside job.

COVID forces all of us into taking a corner of the sandbox, and from there it’s not long until we start pitching the sand.

How useful and helpful is the paroxysm of vitriol?  It’s so destructive on many levels.  But the most important thing to remember is, whenever we choose a side, we neglect other differential truths.

The only way we respect the truth is by holding our peace.

But with social media playing such a central role in life these days, there’s not much of a chance of peace and respect.

If we truly want peace, we don’t endorse war.  But there seems to be so many people these days itching for a fight.

Those who accept what they cannot change—like situations that thwart us—sow in peace.  Those who sow in peace reap a harvest of blessing.

Those who are most blessed are those who can quickly surrender to the fact—COVID is thwarting everyone.

This may not seem to offer much hope, but think about the test here.  We must learn to lose our insistence that we can control everything or even most things.  Do this, accept what we cannot change, and we’re at peace.
