Today, where we are in the midst of a pandemic - people are asked to stay far from others. Where racial injustice still haunts - people are asked to be more aware of the reality. We are forced to be more conscious about the safety of others  - Not just ourselves. For Us, who live here, where individualism is valued so much - we need to be mindful of others. This is never easy to do. Being mindful of others require emotional restraint. This can be perceived as passive and weak, yet can be one of many ways to survive and get out from a terrible situation. Therefore, being mindful and respecting each other by restraining emotion is not weak - It is a proof that we are strong inside.

 

Thank you for wearing your mask,

Thank you for standing up for justice,

Thank you for being mindful of others,

Thank you for your quiet strength.
