“Dear 2020” is the title of a short video (04:11) that CNN compiled from asking people around the world to reflect on the year. Understandably the impact of Coronavirus is felt world over. So are other significant emotional events including wildfire, bombing, etc.
Watching this video and listening to others sharing their experiences, I felt my own emotional cords tucking. As if I was there – sensing their pain, anguish, as well as hope. These kinds of events are difficult to face, let alone to deal with. But somehow life goes on.
Often we only see reality through the emotions of the immediate. This video offers an opportunity to recognize that 1) we’re not alone, 2) options exist outside of our perceived miseries and 3) overall good outweighs the bad. That’s how we make progress and move on.
What would you say to the year 2020?
