The Gift and the Karma

I dream of this tree two weeks ago. The tree in front of the house that we live in. Then I wrote a caption "There are no words of a coincidence under this horizon." -GF

It's been tough weeks, not only for us but for everybody. Gareth had dengue two weeks ago. We had medical on call for three days in a row before we decide to be taken care of in the hospital. I was home and not any days that I don't have to do anything else other than to look after him, the house and the kids. It will be a different story if I'm in Jakarta or still work for a hotel. 

Covid-19 Pandemic is around the world, we can't avoid that. Lots of people lose their job, lose hope, even lose their loved ones; dead or alive. Some of them who are trapped in a house with their partner are realized they are not meant to be that they decide to wish everything well between two of them in the future and move on. Some are trying to get used to both existences that rarely happened in the past. Some are moving to the next level and have a stronger faith that everything will be alright. 

But then this is not only about relationship, it is health and economy. I could say nothing's change in this situation, I'm quite comfortable with just having my daily life, but being home with the kids is new, it's a mega bonus that I was dreaming of this since long time ago. We are comfortable, there is food in the table, bills are managed that we don't have to seek help from strangers or friends. When we can do good, we do good. When we can help, we do help. And there are worse days that I need to deal with people who fake the conversation before asking for a favor, and I still help them anyway. 

Some will see this pandemic as a gift, some will see this as karma. We all believe that what goes around comes around. We just don't realize, perhaps in the past, we talk too much to impress people or to hide our lack of confidence, perhaps in the past we stand so big that others are small, perhaps in the past, we talk too loud that we can't listen others speaking, perhaps in the past, we are too cocky, too confident that our business is better than others, perhaps in the past we are too busy to impress people that we forget to impress our own life, perhaps in the past, we think we are the riches, the handsomeness, the most ideal and the perfect ones that we forget not everyone is beautiful and nothing or no one in this world is perfect, perhaps in the past, we ignore people who love us and hurt them that we're too busy with people who don't. Perhaps this is the right moment to apologize to yourself, to the people you hurt as they might be the ones who always on your side no matter what, and see the good things in every bad thing happened.

Do you take this moment to reflect on yourself? I do and I hope you do, too. And for me, this is the gift. Whatever the universe brings to me, it is always a gift, and the universe trust not only who speaks nice, it is trusting more the people with a good heart and doing good karma for their life.
