The past two years have been a hard time, as we all struggled to face the global pandemic. We have to isolate ourselves and family members at home, and difficult to do regular outside activities. The activities then centered at our home. Doing repetitive domestic activities then became a routine and it treated like a meditation. Such activities is to make our mind stay in sane and to prevent ourselves from deeply depressed. The human ability to adapt any hard situation, has proved their natural survival. We all believe that “This Too Shall Pass”, and we can breathe and smell the fresh air freely.
