Urgent Plea

The world is on it knees and everyone is affected. The rising cases and the tally of casualties of this novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) is yet to end.  The fatigue that comes with the measures is quite understandable but are we now safer to move about as if all is well? The exceeding option of keeping our hopes alive is necessary, since it incites the possibility for action. However, the prevailing denial and despair, and certain political activities, leads to a subtle inclination of indolence that has dangerously deaden the sense of alertness among certain quarters of the public.  Inasmuch as much there's need to remain calm and lesson our fears, we need not let down our guard with a false sense of immunity to COVID-19.

Never FORGET

Never forget your worth. Never belittle your value. Never underestimate yourself. Remember whoever was there for you. Remember whoever blesses you with life. Remember the loyal souls who pray for you and are willing to sacrifice for you. However busy you may be today; However content or discontent you may feel this hour; However successful or progressive you may be;  However, challenging your situations may be; However terrible or disappointed you may feel; Whatever interesting thoughts you might be entertaining right now, remember that your life is a gift and the one who gave you this gift still loves and cares for you.    Remember life is transient, Remember we have a responsibility to Love, Care and Serve one another.  I still cherish & value you. And I wish you well. Kindly, stay safe. ©KYB ✍🏿07/07/2020
