The Best Place to Live

Reality check.

Hopefully, the best place to live is still where you are. After all whatever and where ever we are COVID-19 is everywhere, isn't it. We can only set ourselves safe in our own dwelling place. It

sounds like the contagion has gotten worse than ever. Flattening the curb is still a goal not a reality. In Canada, it has already reached more than 25,500 confirmed Covid-19 positive. A whooping 735 fatalies have been recorded in the country. I am wondering by the irony of what is going on the so called First World have way more victims than, say, in South East Asia.

All of us are now responsible for our neighbors whether he is your friend, family or but strangers. The end of this menace is in our hands. We need to fully cooperate with the authorities and have to take our part and share the sacrifices to cooperate and unite on the strategy of self isolation.

Here is the good news.

There is an experimental antibody that could defeat the deadly virus. All countries are scampering to be the first in line to get it. All over the world they are willing to take chances using it, hoping this is really the cure against this virus.

Or imagine this

In the meantime it is very good to imagine how to live a simpler life. Most of us would realize that in order to live a good life, peaceful and away from the complication of modern life, a return to the basics of living seemed more attractive than ever.

Imagine a place away from the crime committed every day. Up somewhere between valleys where flora and fauna are in profusion and in display in natural grandeur of nature. Where the smell of grass and leaves are mingling with the flowers and the gentle breeze. Overlooking the sea and the water cascading on the side of the mountain fresh and always inviting for a beautiful afternoon splash. Drinking truly fresh safe water every time with a lot of fruit trees that gives the nutrition we require. Vegetables, herbs and root crops are in abundance and a small abode is simple with a mini powerful machine supplying energy and electricity giving you all the amenities of a modern home. It is possible for those who have the money to inves t to have a good life like this for the remaining breathe we may have in this world.

The truth

Now let us be realistic, 99% of us either could or would not do that. And maybe some could but where in the world we could have such a beautiful dream to be turned into reality. The honest truth, it is easily written than actualize. To build a house like that in the middle of nowhere needs logistics and loads of money. To have all those vegetables and everything you need handwork and proper irrigation.

What is remaining in us

What is remaining in our control is realism, more courage, acceptance and strength and as we adapt with change we adapt also with all the changes we are not used to do. One, our mind is ready and we consider this vicious challenge an opportunity of great joy for when we are besieged with such kind of challenges our endurance may grow. As we develop our endurance we will become complete needing nothing - we will become perfect. So the Book said. Let us not worry but be proactive and strong. Keep the courage and the focus of surviving and conquering the most difficult part of this challenge - the doubt, worry and fear and walk the walk as a human being filled with love and faith on oneself and maybe and more importantly in the Supreme Being called God.

The real best place to be

So the best place to live is in our body filled with the right mindset, positive attitude and with

patience, courage and stoicism in endless supply, then we shall survive and win over this challenge. If we can smile, let's smile to the max. If we can laugh, enjoy laughing. If we have a beautiful hope, keep it up and if we have our eyes on our goals be sure it is about your character and your love for others, not the accumulation of material wealth - it will not have power in times like this but love endures forever.
