Lessons Learned: What has this COVID19 pandemic taught you?

That year the harvest was sad, like a funeral, and many farmers wept as they dug up the miserable
and rotting yams. One man tied his cloth to a tree branch and hanged himself.
Okonkwo remembered that tragic year with a cold shiver throughout the rest of his life. It always
surprised him when he thought of it later that he did not sink under the load of despair. He knew that he was
a fierce fighter, but that year-had been enough to break the heart of a lion.
"Since I survived that year," he always said, "I shall survive anything."
 
That humans are deeply social beings and many will risk a global pandemic for the chance to meet up in person. On this note, can y'all mask up when interacting?

Also, that global politics is at most times under the spell of some mediocre personalities and self interest isn't an exclusively Kenyan behavior.

On the positive side, I've learnt that the human spirit is full of great potential. We are persevering and we shall come out of the other side better. Hopefully!

"The white man is very clever. He came quietly and peaceably with his religion. We were amused at his foolishness and allowed him to stay. Now he has won our brothers, and our clan can no longer act like one. He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart"
 
Anything can change.

Tech and political tech are moving faster than ever before and entire industries are shutting down much quicker than newer jobs are being created. We also don't have a plan for this and most are sitting ducks.

I've seen old Kikuyu men sell land and move (some of) their wealth into tech investments, something I thought I'd never see in my life. If you understand what mìgunda mean to these men, it's nothing short of shocking.

Life is short, you may as well do what's important to you. Spend extra time doing nothing with those you love instead of looking for an extra shilling, just don't go broke doing it :LOL:
