Uncertain times

Wed., Aug. 5, 2020

From the time we are born, till our adulthood, we are told what to do from society. At school and work we are to follow guidelines — from what to wear to don’t speak until spoken to. As children we could not wait until we grew up. Then we grew up. We have obligations and rules in our everyday lives.

This is no exception. We don’t know to what to do or think. So many restrictions. For four months now we have been told where to go, where to stand and what to wear. What I have learned is that there are three types of people: The leader, the followers and the neutral.

We live in a world of uncertainty. While many want to move forward, others are not sure. This year has been one of the most stressful and hectic — a setback from our everyday routines and lives. I only hope we can recover and maintain some normalcy after this.
