"2022: Hopefully a serious year to address immediate problems"
(A New Year's Message)
For sure everyone is still hoping for a peaceful and prosperous new year this 2022.
For all despite this pandemic situation and most countries either getting vaccines to that of preparing for another variant, this third year of COVID19 shows that the people, although still hoping to return to their normal lives prior to the pandemic, rather end accept that there’s a need for sacrifice, to be flexible in everything just to sustain life.
To be honest, this third year of COVID19 so long as having “for the sake of” policies to prevail will always end susceptible to discontent as any other controversial policies. Since last 2020, people endure checkpoints, long queues for measly subsidies, even seeing community pantries harassed same as those who criticise government responses towards this pandemic. Even listening to a president who rather use the nighttime talk to voice out his personal rants instead of addressing problems and offer suggestions along with his “task force”, what more of having his “task force” composed of retired military men- thinking they’re the “best” people to lead COVID19 response.
But regardless of these challenges, the people still cling to the hope that this situation will suffice. As most end inoculated by the first two vaccine shots and bolstered by another, this note would say that in this 2022 hopefully everyone is prepared in their daily tasks, face new challenges, endure new risks and sacrifices. This year also marks the time people will vote for new leaders, who, as in the past, will promise heaven on earth yet they still swore at the order people strongly detested due to its corrupted and oppressive nature. However, this doesn't mean people will just stop from electing good ones who did their assignments well in ensuring the people with good roads to better access to health and social services with no names written, rather than for the sake of getting votes by bragging each project as theirs.
To cut this note short, this writer ought to say that from these situations should be a time for the folk to realise there’s a need for sound changes, ranging from addressing the issues surrounding this pandemic to that of really building a better nation and its future yet to come. For sure everyone, in celebrating this occasion and yet enduring this situation would say that hopefully this 2022 really meant a chance to recover from this, and not some mere show off pride nor creating half-hearted agendas that obviously meant to "shut people up" especially in these times of catastrophe and crisis.
