(FR) Sinda (33) encourages you for a change of path

Published: May 27, 2020, 7 a.m.

I'm Sinda, I live in Paris and I'm almost 34 years old. I am living in Paris and have been in confinement for more than six weeks now due to Covid-19. Today I am drawing negative but also positive points from this situation. The negative points are above all on the moral level, the anxiety that one can feel to be confined, the deaths which are also unfortunately counted every day throughout the country and the world.   But next to that, there is also the commitment of some citizens, the impact on social networks, the virtual world, our adaptation too, which is quite developed. Humans adapt quite quickly to new situations.  The opportunity that can be drawn from this, whether for oneself or for the community - is to ask oneself the right questions. And one of the questions is: do we want to live and return to a so-called "normal" life, knowing that it may not have been normal for us and for other societies? What do we want for our future, what do we want for the generations to come? Do we want to continue on this path at the economic level, at the political level, at the human level? It is difficult to answer all these questions in a very short period of time, but these are the questions we ask ourselves as citizens, as individuals. And I think that in community, all together, we will find the answers. I wish good courage to all those who are confined, and thank you for listening.
