Broken But Stronger

In our end is our beginning.

This world today broke a lot of us. Until now, the pain it costs is massive and continuously wreaking havoc in most parts of the world.

Still, despite the collapse of most of the things we held dear, there is hope. We cannot lose sight of the better things to come.

If we survive this pandemic, we can tap each other shoulders, and proudly say we are stronger than our old selves.

In fact, if we look around there are sparks of hope and inspiration. People taking advantage of the crisis and turning nothing into something.

There are new and better ideas around us. Either we copy those ideas to serve our own bounce back or create a better one that fits our capacities and needs.

Antifragile rejoice. You have proven your point and we are in awe. We marvel at your capabilities to grow stronger against harsh realities.

We are energized to see you tame the lashing winds of the pandemic, and harness them to create a better world.

In the heart of the dark and desolated places, you are light. Please continue to burn.

How about you, will you burn for others — your family, friends, and country?
