It was around the end of January of 2020 when the United States was made aware of the first case of Covid-19, and from then on, life changed for everyone. There have been political debates, vaccine debates, and court battles. Life has been very different since the first case was diagnosed in America. The news struck fear in the hearts of millions of people, and for so many people, it derailed their plans for life. Many people began to rethink their goals and pursuits.

I believe that fear still grips people's minds and hearts. I am not a psychologist, and I certainly don't play one on the radio, but I do observe people. I think most of us pay attention to the deeds and actions of other people. We also engage in conversation constantly to talk about issues.
