Saying Welcome 2021


Not a single human being on this earth can predict anything that will happen in the future. Even a psychic cannot describe with certainty what events will occur. God's secret is only His that cannot be understood.

At the beginning of 2020, all of us in the world were shocked by a viral pandemic that has an impact on all aspects of human life throughout the world. Nobody can imagine that the virus would be able to ravage all countries in terms of economy, education and culture. Even because of the virus, many families have had to let go of their loved ones. They were forced to leave us because they were unable to fight the ferocity of the Covid19 virus.

Many countries initially thought that the virus was not dangerous. Even the virus is considered the same as the cough or flu virus as in general. Until they didn’t have the ability to fight and avoid it because suddenly many family members have to leave this world.

And the worst thing is that we all have to submit to and be afraid of the corona. Many places of worship are closed to avoid crowds because we are all afraid the virus will make things worse if we don't prevent it by meeting fewer crowds. There is nothing that we can fault with such circumstances. We must all understand and accept all the best decisions from the government as well as from any religious leader. Everything is done for our good so that conditions do not get worse. Because there have been many victims of this covid19 virus. All of this must happen in order for us to change. We must change for the better. Maybe all this time we don't care about each other because of work. We are so busy that we forget our family. Our togetherness with other family members are severely restricted by work. There is almost no time for us to sit together at the dinner table and tell stories about experiences at school or at work.

But because of the covid19 virus we have all changed! We just realized that losing our loved ones by way of virus took it very hard. They suddenly got sick and then separated because they had to be isolated without knowing what would happen next. Then they left ... There were even times when we couldn't meet them because of the lock down. And of course there is a tremendous fear that they will be exposed to the virus. Then what's more terrifying, they're sick and we can't do anything! Because we are afraid of getting infected!

One thing we must admit is that because of the covid19 virus, many of us have changed for the better and are more religious.

We take the positive from this cruelty of the virus. Because to survive in a healthy condition, we must be more concerned about our bodies and the bodies of others. Such as consuming healthy foods and drinking vitamins, always wash your hands before eating or after doing work.

There is no storm that will not pass. We are now at the end of 2020. In a moment we will welcome 2021. We hope that in the new year we can be more optimistic about the future and forget the past. The past will be a beautiful experience even though it is painful. However, from the past we will learn many lessons and learn many things. We all don't want to repeat the same mistakes. Indeed, the Covid19 virus may not just go away, will we, but we must change and survive. Only one thing we can do, pray and follow health protocol. So with God's blessing, we will avoid all difficulties. And with God, we will walk together towards 2021 with more optimism.

Happy new year 2021!
