what covid19 and the pandemic revealed

Suffering has a way to reveal our true self.  Whether we're aware of it or not, we all place our hope and trust in certain things: health, faith, family, relationships, or ourselves.  And sometimes it takes the loss of those things to fully grasp how closely we depended or clung to those things.  

What did the pandemic reveal about you and the things you put your hope in? Covid19 brought with it grief and trauma, it brought loss of life and the loss of the things we grasped onto so tightly.  As we look forward to life past this unprecedented time, I wonder what revelations you may have realized.  Did you realize how fragile life is and how you ought to invest in things more important than just yourself? Maybe you'll appreciate the relationships in your life a bit more than before?  Or perhaps you'll live to find a purpose and calling in helping those in need?  With a half glass full, the pandemic has shaken humanity to its core and revealed our true self.  How will you move forward with the realizations and revelations experienced during this pandemic?
