Ramifications
A new restriction on movement was put into effect beginning today. The order restricts the movement of students and elderly over 65 and requires them to be within their dwelling by 3 p.m. daily. Most of the chat group members are foreigners, like myself, and several of the messages are looking for loopholes.
While surfing the internet there was coverage of students on Spring Break having fun on the beaches in the U.S. They were aware of the “social distancing” protocol put forth to help stem the spread of CoVid19. Several stated something to the effect of “they didn’t care about the spread” or “it didn’t affect them” or “I’m going to party, no matter what.”
As I’m basically isolated, only communicating via email or chat, I find it interesting how others are behaving. My desire is to be a good citizen. For me, citizenry, in this community means I should behave as if I’m infected. Maintain my distance and interactions with others and only go outside when needed.
The ramifications for the behavior of others is something I’m not used to being accountable for. Should others choose to behave as if they have nothing to lose it’s ok, but for me, I’ll behave as a good citizen. I’ll do what’s required, regardless of my personal emotions.
Today, Sunday, March 22, 2020, I am grateful that:
I can behave within the “norms” of society. I don’t have to be a rebel. I can think of others and not myself.
My personal feelings about circumstances haven't deterred my willingness to fulfill my purpose. Circumstances will constantly evolve since they are related to events but my purpose is connected to my existence. It’s not about what’s happening around me but rather what’s within me that needs to be shared with the world.
Less and less my thoughts are of myself. It’s not about me but rather what or how I can do for those about me. There are many in dire need here and across the globe and my job is to impact those within my influence positively and powerfully enough to impact others and hopefully, ripple through society enough to effect change.
How are you helping others today?
How are you behaving as a good citizen today?
What can you do to improve others today?
How can you advance in your purpose fulfillment today?
Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
