This pandemic calls for generosity and empathy more than ever. It’s literally caused us to slow down and within the confines of our own homes, re-examine how we relate to one another and through that, the value of human connections and relationships have come to the forefront. I started to realise the power of communication and human connection a lot more, and how a little generosity of time and of spirit goes a long way. Covid-19 also happened during Ramadan, so I was fasting throughout this period as well and one of the things that I tried to repeat mentally everyday was the notion of having empathy and treasuring the power of a cheerful disposition. That really changed my outlook on things and I started investing in my relationships with friends and family in a more meaningful way.
