Be you and fearless. Look inside yourself to find true happiness, peace, love, success and power. You don't have to copy the behavior and customs of the world to fit in. Listen out for deceit even from the people you do know. Everything that appears attractive isn't good for the mind or body. Adults, teens and young children are constantly being persuaded to fit in to please that particular group and in turn makes them content. There's a long history of men, women, teens and young children going through trials of depression, lack of peace, love, ambition, and periods of fear and doubt. The year of 2020 is no different. The COVID-19 pandemic had not stopped the bullying, peer pressure, social rejection, discrimination and crimes against humanity. Chinese people living abroad have suffered heavy attacks based on COVID-19. Police brutality around the world continue to exist and black people in different parts of the world continue to suffer discrimination and even death. Bullying has increased in the public school system. The black and latinx communities also dealing with heavy discrimination from the government, the police, and hate groups. Not all police are racists and out of touch with the people in the community. Not all police engage in police brutality. The primary duty of a cop in law enforcement is to protect people and property. There is a long history of police officers not complying with the rules concerning people in the local communities and have abused their power but one can't judge the department as a whole. A career in law enforcement, which includes security guards and the military is still a dream career to countless people. Even those people may get bullied and even rejected because of choice of career. The LGBTQ community has also been hit hard by the government, peer pressure, and bullying, struggling to find equality, human rights, and being true to themselves. Because of the pandemic, everyone in the world has been encouraged and/or forced to self-quarantine and wear precautions. Still, people are struggling to just be themselves and instead looking for external resources to look for happiness. Don't depend on other ways to feel happy and wanted. In reality everyone will not like you. They will not agree with your opinions and way of life. Jealousy and anger still affect people's thinking. Its not only social media being a heavy influence on people but print magazines and general internet search. Eating the right food, social interactions, and lack of sleep affects your well-being. Be yourself and fearless. Its OK if everyone does not like nor respect you. It's OK if other people doesn't respect your values, ideals and expectations. The US President Donald J Trump recently stated don't be afraid of Corona virus. My take on his statement is, don't let the virus, like other general obstacles in life, change who you are. Use precautions if you have to go out in public but do you. Know that the virus exists and it is still around but don't allow it to control you.
