The Power of touch
When someone is going through a storm, your silent presence is more powerful than a million empty words. Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring; all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Helping Others

Lending a helping hand to people can uplift their spirit especially during hard times. It also serves as an example for others to emulate. It emits positivity, fulfillment, happiness, and love to the people around you. When you help others, you will have a better understanding of why things happen and what we need to do to prevent them from happening again. You will find smiles on the faces of those whom you have helped. Their gratefulness and prayers of blessings are worth more than a million gems. You will realize that helping others is the most amazing feeling in the world.

War Situation

In a war situation, nobody asks anyone to stay indoors. You stay indoors by choice.  During a war, you don't insist on your freedom. You willingly give it up in exchange for survival. During a war, you don't complain of hunger. You bear hunger and pray that you live to eat again. During a war, you don't argue about opening your business. You close your shop and run for your life. During a war, you are thankful to God for seeing another day in the land of the living.
The world is currently in a state of war. A war without guns and bullets. A war without human soldiers. A war without borders. A war without cease-fire agreements. A war without sacred zones.
The army in this war is without mercy. It has no respect for persons. Its ambition has nothing to do with racial superiority and its only agenda is a harvest of death. It has bases in almost every country of the world. Its movement is not governed by any war convention or protocol. It is a law unto itself. It is Coronavirus/ COVID-19.
Thankfully, this army has a weakness and it can be defeated. It only requires our collective action, discipline and forbearance. COVID-19 cannot survive social and physical distancing. It bows before good personal hygiene. It is helpless when you take your destiny in your own hands by keeping them sanitized as often as possible.
Let's obey and follow the instructions of the authorities. Let's flatten the COVID-19 curve. Let's exercise patience. Let's be our brothers' keeper. In no time, we shall regain our freedom, enterprise and socializing. (Yoweri Kaguta Museveni)
