RE: Minimalism Lessons Learned After Surviving the Super Typhoon and Other Unforeseen Catastrophes

Yes, life has a way of preparing us for things. We only need to recognize and understand the meaning of things around us. Awareness can be a very useful tool in this regard. The destruction of marine life will take a long time to heal, but the community needs to do it faster especially with the ongoing pandemic that we are all still facing. The government can do a lot of good in this situation if it only put its heart and efforts to focus on rebuilding the damaged areas, hopefully. Miracles do happen. We can only pray that this is one of those times where the light shines brighter and the darkness fades in the background, even for just a while, until the people most affected can get back on their feet again.

The aftermath brought everyone in survival mode in the midst of the pandemic. Gradual rebuilding is happening, so much loss, loss of jobs as well and livelihood. On a lighter note, it made us appreciate a sense of community, bayanihan, sharing of food with neighbors, kids playing outdoor games, the luxury of being able to turn on a light switch. I swear the sound of running water in a tap makes me smile. 😁

Ah, yes. Everything has a positive side naman talaga. It's like going on a camping trip without the gadgets, especially for the kids. Bayanihan is one of the great Filipino traits and always comes out whenever there is a big event. That's why we can be so resilient, the support group is built into the fabric of our shared values and ways of doing things. :)
