How has the coronavirus pandemic affected how you feel about yourself, others, or the world?

I think<strong> the pandemic has been a great reminder that we are mere puny humans</strong> and that despite all the things we have achieved, we really do not control the universe nor do we have any idea what tomorrow will bring.<strong> It has been humbling at a massive scale.</strong> I think that many people, including myself, have started to see our lives differently-- we do not control everything, we can make plans but only God knows if they will happen.<strong> The pandemic has shifted my priorities</strong>-- I am more focused on relationships and things that will last-- rather than superficial encounters and entertainment. I feel like<strong> the pandemic has been a giant detox of sorts</strong>-- getting rid of all the toxic unnecessary clutter in my life and making room for those things that really important, that nourish me, and I genuinely care about.
