Goodness will prevail
in all circumstances
The recent Covid outbreak in Hong Kong has
not just caused ballooning in case number but sadly
an upsurge in fatality especially for the elderly due to
their very low vaccination rate. Health care workers
have been working around the clock in looking
after the patients. Hong Kong has been following
China’s ‘dynamic zero’ strategy but short of boosting
vaccination like in Australia let alone making the
elderly as priority. The situation is very worrying, but
not to an extent that the health care workers give up
their determination in coping. My local friends here
are showing their grave concern on their connection
in Hong Kong by persuading them to be vaccinated.
Two weeks ago, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
has alarmed the world with those born after WWII
never seen a war in Europe. We believe national
conflicts could be sorted out by the UN, or through
negotiation between powers, without going into
wars in the mutual interest of the nations concerned.
In so many years we only got military conflict on
a localised basis, as it has been a general world
consensus that no country should openly conquer
another country. Russia’s invasion tells us that
human never learn from history on war, and peace
cannot be take for granted. We should keep hoping
that the crisis could be over soon.
On the eastern coast of Australia, flash storm
and river flooding hit extensive areas in Queensland
and NSW two weeks ago, causing massive damage
to property and resulting in human loss. This was
very dampening and distressing. Governments at
all levels handed out support aids and many local
voluntary bodies came into rescue, all leave their
covid flight and join hands to help out the affected
communities.
All these disaster and calamity remind us of
how fragile could be our state of living no matter
where, we can only face the uncertainty with faith,
hope and courage. Dark forces are around us,
but we can still live with goodness and love inside
ourselves.
In Ukraine’s war and Australia’s flooding, we
can find courageous acts such as the Ukrainian
president holding onto Kiev with his people, and
supplies rushing in for the flood victims here. We
know that in this world goodness still prevails.
