From people. To people.
Adaptation in this time of pandemic.
We began observing our daily lives differently, mainly because we were forced to share it. Some earlier, others later. Ultimately, the awareness that COVID-19 changed our lifestyle, turned out to be undisputed by all. Perhaps, and without any reluctance, in some cases, the change was for the better.
In a short matter of time, we realized that the only way to act on the behalf of everyone was to submit ourselves to confinement inside our houses and adopt means of social distance. We became limited to the strictly necessary, forcing everyone (or most of them) to stop and stare. And, perhaps, the understanding of how crucial affections can be, and what the true value of a simple hug is, came to life. Also, living in a rush often is what separates us from what matters most in life.
Common interactions, that used to be effortlessly available, are no longer. It became digital. It is no longer tangible. We had to learn how to adapt to these new circumstances and the hours between mornings and evenings, that once were so filled, turned to repeated echoes. We were concerned and touched. Since we are referring to our people, and once the right to life must be guaranteed to every single one of them, in all circumstances, this becomes important. And no money can pay the life of a human being.
Among information from certified identities, some signs of hope from designated heroes start appearing. They dedicate their time to protect and even save people, in a strong-minded way, no matter what the battlefield is.
These heroes present themselves as part of the food and transport sector, as firefighters, INEM, police and security forces, as auxiliaries and technicians from IPSS, as health professionals, and so many others. For those who make an effort in their daily bases, so that nothing goes missing within any family, and keeping in mind that everything must be done to overcome the many difficulties of those in need, Here everyone is a fit, with no exception.
Thank you.
