Malo tko je mogao vjerovati tek prije mjesec dana da će cijeli svijet paralizirati pandemija korona virusa. Osjećaji su pomiješani, većini nas je jasno da se nalazimo u izvanrednim okolnostima kakve svijet nije iskusio u našoj generaciji, a uz optimizam i svijest da i u najtežim trenutcima treba naći nešto pozitivno javlja se opravdani strah za budućnost.
Imali smo priliku vidjeti brojne snimke i fotografije diljem svijeta koje pokazuju nesalomljivu snagu ljudskog duha, posebno se to odnosi na Talijane koji trenutno prolaze vrhunac pandemije i koji unatoč tome nisu odustali od plesa po balkonima i zahvale medicinskom osoblju na nadljudskim naporima. No, primjeri nam stižu sa svih strana svijeta, i iz naših dvorišta i od naših susjeda, a jedna spontana inicijativa u Velikoj Britaniji izmamila nam je osmijeh na lice.
U nadi da prošire važnost optimizma i da si olakšaju vrijeme provedeno kod kuće, Britanci su opet vratili na svoje kuće, stanove i balkone božićne svjećice, a izgleda da se njihova ideja već počela širiti i ostalim zemljama. Ta mala intervencija ne zahtijeva veliki napor, ali jasno pokazuje da smo svi u ovome zajedno, da smo zahvalni svima onima koji rade na spriječavanju i širenju virusa i da ćemo se bez obzira na posljedice iz ovoga izaći jači i bolji.
Last night we switched our Christmas lights back on. I intend to #sharesomelight every evening until we are out of this darkness (or until my husband shouts at me) to say thank you to everyone who’s keeping the country going #COVID2019 . pic.twitter.com/gxAZhL3ze1

My youngest son was bored today and said, “can we put Christmas lights on our tree outside to cheer us up?” Great idea buddy. Lights are on tonight as a sign of hope and the sweet mind of my 10 year old. #Rhodeisland #hope #lovemysons #Christmas #Cumberland pic.twitter.com/qhVjeuLc02

Today a few of my neighbours decided we needed a bit more light in this dark time and decided to turn their Christmas lights back on. I hope it brings a smile to you face like it did mine. pic.twitter.com/MukgY36FTj

World getting you down? We are so lazy that we never took down our Christmas lights. So, we turned them back on! #behappy #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/1k4D9vJodg
