Since the onset of the pandemic, more specifically the lockdown, I guess you may have seen a number of suggestions some well-meaning friends have shared as concerns goals a person can—or in some cases, must—achieve during this period. For example, it could be a push to learn a skill, to start or complete that project you’ve kept pending, or to take online courses and trainings. As much as the suggestions are meant to help one make the most of these days, I think such proposals can bully some people into acts that may not yield any meaningful rewards.
Why?
It’s quite simple: We are at different levels in life, hence our core needs and expectations cannot be the same. A man’s true need in this period may be how to find sleep; while for his neighbour, it could be a desire to get his wife screaming like a banshee when next he fulfills his manly duties. And, in the mix, you’ll probably find a man whose sole desire is to silence the voices in his head; voices urging him to take his own life.
Personally, it’s been a time to question a number of things. So far, it seems I’ve found a way to handle a particularly disturbing situation.
Friend, I wrote this to encourage you to pursue what truly matters—to YOU—not what seems trendy or what every other person is doing.
