Just Somehting to Think About

The current events of the world have very recently been mimicking those of the ancient Greeks. It is a little crazy seeing how history can repeat itself, but it is true. When I would learn about ancient history and hear about the plagues and the mass hysteria, I would always think, "Wow, I would hate to live in that situation." I never for a second thought that we would go through something similar, and I feel guilty for taking this life we live for granted. It is hard knowing that we are all in this situation together when you feel very alone, and I cannot even imagine what the ancient Athenians must have felt like. There are many more relations between our world now and what we have been discussing in class, and I hope in the future we can brush up on it a little more, but for now, just think about it. I know it may be hard to feel this way, but be grateful for what we do have. These are trying times for everyone and we all need to stay calm and stay home. Think about the Athenians, how many of those who were sick did not have a home to stay safe in? We are very blessed and I think we should see this as an opportunity to realize this and think about what really matters. It is just something to think about, but it is a good something. Sorry for the little rant and I hope you have a wonderful day.
