Only because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist

It is fascinating to notice how we react as human beings to critical situations that we had never experienced before. The existence of this virus made us more aware of our body and of others’ presence. We give more importance to...
- our physical sensations (Is our throat OK? Do we have fever? Do we cough? Do we breath easily?),
- our gestures (when and how we touch our face, how often we wash our hands, what kind of surfaces we touch),
- our personal and social space (how far or close are we from other persons, what sounds does other person do, how other persons looks and react physically),
- our relationships (how often can we meet our loved ones? Are we in danger of not seeing them? Are we far from dear ones? Do we miss somebody?),
- our priorities and many more.
It made me think about people’s struggles. Only because you can’t see them, doesn’t mean they don’t exist. And only because we don’t see the immediate impact of our behavior on other people, it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening - both positive or negative. We are connected to each other more than we can imagine.
First of all, spread the love!
