What Does Your Life Depend On?
Illumination
Our lives can be saved by some of the simplest things, and staying alive sometimes relies on simple actions from many of us. Telling the truth can save your life. Having a reputation for being honest can make you live longer. Doing the right thing can save your life. Your ability to respect, obey, and follow the rules can prolong your life. Knowing the value of life can save you. And sometimes, our lives depend on our ability to do any of the above. That is so simple, yet hard to do for many of us.
If your life depends on your ability to be honest, to tell the truth, or to obey the rules, will you live? Or will you die? Which one of the above can save you?
This is inspired by the spike in COVID 19 in my country. Right now, our lives depend on our ability to respect, obey, and follow the rules. The recklessness of the few individuals, whose life can’t depend on their ability to do the right thing, is endangering the lives of all. Life can be so simple when we do the right thing. How simple is your life?
Thank you for reading this piece. I hope your actions, choices, and decisions in this crisis can save you.
