This is an amalgam of 19 random life lessons I’ve learned or relearned as a result of the pandemic. Enjoy.
Life is hard. About every two years you will go through some kind of personal tragedy. About every 10 years there is a society wide catastrophe. Without diving too deep into what would and would not constitute existence, I’ll say that the bad times make the good times possible.

Others are saying we shouldnt judge those blaming the quarantine for eating junk, drinking too much, laying around in their pajamas all day, getting fat, and everything under the sun. There is actually a balance.
