WE ARE NOT IN THE SAME BOAT ...

 

I heard that we are in the same boat. But it's not like that. We are in the same storm, but not in the same boat.

 

Your ship can be shipwrecked and mine might not be. Or vice versa.

 

For some, quarantine is optimal: moments of reflection, of re-connection. Easy, in flip flops, with a whiskey or tea.

 

For others, this is a desperate crisis.

 

For others it is facing loneliness.

 

For some, a peace, rest time, vacation.

 

Yet for others, Torture: How am I going to pay my bills?

 

Some were concerned about a brand of chocolate for Easter (this year there were no rich chocolates).

 

Others were concerned about the bread for the weekend, or if the noodles would last for a few more days.

 

Some were in their "home office" .

 

Others are looking through trash to survive.

 

Some want to go back to work because they are running out of money.

 

Others want to kill those who break the quarantine.

 

Some need to break the quarantine to stand in line at the banks. Others to escape.

 

Others criticize the government for the lines.

 

Some have experienced the near death of the virus, some have already lost someone from it, some are not sure their loved ones are going to make it, and some don't even believe this is a big deal.

 

Some of us who are well now may end up experiencing it, and some believe they are infallible and will be blown away if or when this hits someone they know

 

Some have faith in God and expect miracles during this 2020.

 

Others say the worse is yet to come.

 

So, friends, we are not in the same boat.

 

We are going through a time when our perceptions and needs are completely different.

 

And each one will emerge, in their own way, from that storm.

 

Some with a tan from their pool. Others with scars on the soul (for invisible reasons).

 

It is very important to see beyond what is seen at first glance. Not just looking, more than looking, seeing.

 

See beyond the political party, beyond religion, beyond the nose on your face.

 

Do not underestimate the pain of others if you do not feel it.

 

Do not judge the good life of the other, do not condemn the bad life of the other.

 

Don't be a judge.

 

Let us not judge the one who lacks.

 

We are on different ships looking to survive. 

 

Let everyone navigate their route with respect, empathy and responsibility.
