The world is in chaos.
In a matter of a week, our duty schedules and responsibilities were changed, doctors started to use telemedicine and implemented group practices while others were sent to home quarantine, and some, sadly, were affected by the virus. Other people were asked to stay at home, working from home was started by some; businesses were asked to close, public transportation was suspended.
The world is in a state of disorder that everything that has happened made everyone feel out of control - and being out of control makes everyone afraid, helpless and vulnerable, which as we have all witnessed lead to sad life choices. There is too much emotions from everyone filling the world with too much unnecessary noise because everyone has something to say, and everyone wants to be heard.
And I think that is where additional problems begin - people wanting to be heard but not everyone willing to understand.
And as I try to put some order in my brain and heart overwhelmed with a lot of information and emotions, I see and hear both sides: The need to stay at home to contain the spread of the virus while for others the need to go out to sustain their everyday life. The need and desire to fight this thing together with the other members of the healthcare team and the need to think of one's own family's safety. To stay put versus others' desire to continuously do something just to make one feel that they are still somehow in control. And the list goes on.
Everyone have their own reasons for whatever they are doing and whatever they have decided upon - I pray that these reasons are for the good of many and not just for one's selfish motives. (Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of frustrations and I've had my fair share of mental comments to the people you hate right now.) But at this time, as we try to adapt to our new norm at least for the next few months - may we hold off our judgements. For true judgement is at the end of the road when all of this is over (and this will end, yes it will).
But until then, as the world change - a little bit fast for our own liking, I think the world is asking for a little more understanding from each and everyone. Just a little more, with a dash of hope that the goodness of people will prevail and plenty of prayers that we be sustained until we crossed this marathon's finish line.
