Action in this Time of Uncertainties

Elizer B. Mangune

"Art is the need to create; but in its essence, immense and universal, it is impatient of working with lame or tied hands, and of making cripples and monsters, such as all pictures and statues are. Nothing less than the creation of man and nature is its end." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is creativity in every person. There should only be a reason for them to create beautiful memories. It is in one's triumph to extend hand to help those in need. In this time of uncertainties, everybody need each other...

We touch lives…and in so doing, we are like those bakers who prepares a delicious banquet in our midst…choosing the best ingredients, intricately, and passionately preparing them.

The last few months shows us the value of of perseverance, the call to unite in this trying times. We do this unselfishly knowing that one day, we are all front liners in this battle.

Despite the previous certainty that the challenges of the present and future — the environment, technological disruption or terrorism — required enormous cooperation between countries, everything remained the same, with populist and irresponsible leadership exacerbating nationalist feelings over the planetary common good.

If we accept that, then this tragic virus may force us to mitigate the lack of a sense of community that afflicts the planet. Depending on the decisions that are made in the coming days and months, it may be the midwife of better global and local systems, which will come out stronger to meet the challenges.
