"We are in the same storm, but not in the same boat. For some, quarantine is optimal: moment of reflection, of re-connection. Easy, in flip flops. For others, this is a desperate crisis. Or facing loneliness. For some, a peace, rest time, vacation. Yet for others, Torture: How am I going to pay my bills? Some were concerned if the noodles would last for a few more days. Some were in their "home office" . Some want to go back to work because they are running out of money. Others want to kill those who break the quarantine. Some need to break the quarantine to stand in line at the banks. Others to escape. Others criticize the government for the lines. Some have experienced the near death of the virus, some have already lost someone from it, some are not sure their loved ones are going to make it, and some don't even believe this is a big deal. Some have faith in God. Others say the worse is yet to come. We are going through a time when our perceptions and needs are completely different. And each one will emerge, in his own way, from that storm. Some with a tan from their pool. Others with scars on the soul (for invisible reasons). It is very important to see beyond what is seen at first glance. Not just looking, more than looking, seeing. See beyond the constant media updates. Do not underestimate the pain of others if you do not feel it. Do not judge or condemn the life of another. We are on different boats, looking to survive. Let everyone navigate their own route with respect and responsibility. " - unknown
