This Holiday Season

The year 2020 brought many unpredictable and unprecedented events we were never expecting to take place. In any nation, people must have a common ground where they unite and express their views in a dignified manner.

Nevertheless, taking precautions and following directives from our local region and directors of community boards must be strictly followed. Statistics prove repeatedly what can or cannot happen.

I want my readers to know that we have more things in common than differences so we should try to protect each other by first protecting ourselves. We must remind ourselves that the world is a huge place but the acceptability of differences in norms, culture, and religious beliefs should not impact our lives.

Lastly putting blame on others is the easiest thing to do and it has become the 'meme' of today's youth. One can only bring change when one has the ability to change themselves.

We should be grateful for the basic things we possess and be grateful that we are alive and have a family. Pray for the whole nation indeed and never forget that being faithful to our nation should be cultivated in ourselves.

We must focus on our youth. "They are how we treat them." I have read this phrase so many times and wanted my readers to know that every child, adolescent, and adult deserves the best.
