“Whenever you see darkness, there is an extraordinary
opportunity for the light to burn
brighter.” - Bono.
You might be asking yourself what that quote
means. Why do we need this quote, specifically
in our time?, I’m telling you there is no better
time for this quote to shine brighter and better.
Since quarantine began, we have alienated
ourselves from society and pushed our friends
away to the farthest corners of our minds,
where we cannot see them because we believe
in this threat.
Hold fast to the light in this ever growing darkness.
Even these threats are finite, while we,
united and strong as the human race, are truly
infinite. Think of all the good we are capable of
when we have hope.
So in the end, we will break through all the limitations that we have put on ourselves. We will grow even
stronger, not just surviving but thriving. You might not see it now, but you will see it later. You might not
see the hope, that is like a bright radiant light in the darkness, but a small ember of light will always be
burning within you. It will be all you need in order to meet our upcoming challenges. Once we acknowledge
this, that burning ember of hope will turn into a raging fire and invincible power that we call love.
Thank you for listening to me through these hard times. I know and I hope that we find the hope and love
in our hearts together, because this is not the end. We are not trapped in the darkness. We, as a human
race, are destined to overcome all the challenges in our life, because this is not our end.
This is our story and this is only the beginning.
