The good thing even in this chaotic time is many have had time for self-reflection. It is like a new beginning for so many in terms of quality time spent with family, in terms of health, hobbies, etc. There is a sense of common good taking place. Everyone is coming together in solidarity. Those who have power and money are trying to do the best to contribute to society for a better world.

People are being grateful for this gift of life and believing in the power of now. There is a will to change for a better future.

It has changed the way of academics, works, daily outings, and daily living. And although it may not be that great to have social distance from your loved ones, there is a sense of responsibility prevailing.

There is emotional intelligence, spirituality, among others to explore in this time of crisis. It is a new beginning for all- whether for better or for worse.
