Marvin Gaye & Ruth Bader Ginsburg(RBG)–You Both Do Know What’s Going On

Black Lives matter. It also encompasses racial equality. Same with gender equality( my hat off to the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg aka RBG. )

As I played Marvin Gaye’s epic song–What’s Going On, I could not help but think how prophetic the lyrics are.To attain rights and equality is a constant struggle. Sometimes it can lead to paying the ultimate price to get it.

Let us not take things for granted and hopefully come to a peaceful resolution as well as conversation regarding society’s issues.

In this way, we do not become clueless and as the song title states–What’s Going On ? doesn’t stick to us like glue.

Paging Time Magazine Editor!(Re: Time Person of the Year 2020)

Dear Time Magazine Editor(Sir/Madam)

Near the end of every year, Time Magazine usually chooses among a list of prospective nominees that would be given the title of Time Person of the Year.

That person would be deemed as someone who had influenced society and had left a lasting impact for mankind.

For this year 2020, in my own humble opinion, Sir/Madam Editor, I truly and strongly believe that this year’s Time Person of the Year is not human but a microbe,specifically a virus—-Coronavirus Disease 2019 or aka COVID-19.

It has been with us for almost the entire year and is still ongoing. Worldwide, lifestyle changes are still ongoing and we all keep second-guessing as to how to outwit it so as to survive its deadly sting.

COVID-19 is so powerful that it does not play favorites. Everyone is affected in some way,no exceptions.

But if Sir/Madam Editor,you still would prefer a human nominee, I would recommend the frontline,essential healthcare workers worldwide.

Thank you so much for your time and stay safe!

Sincerely,

Josie

Will Life Before COVID-19 Ever Come Back?

As we now start the final one-third of 2020,here are my thoughts.

As I see all these lifestyle changes around us in this pandemic year and how it had changed, even permanently at times how we live our lives whether personal or work-wise, I can say this.

Life will never be the same not only in this pandemic year(2020) but hence forth. Life before COVID-19 will never come back,in my opinion.

It is the new normal,folks.

This pandemic happened for a reason. As to what it is, we may know not necessarily now but in the coming days. It is basically a God only knows situation as I see it.

It will be interesting to see how our thoughts of 2020 would be come New Year’s Eve.
