How has the coronavirus pandemic affected how you feel about yourself, others, or the world?

I think the pandemic has been a great reminder that we are mere puny humans and that despite all the things we have achieved, we really do not control the universe nor do we have any idea what tomorrow will bring. It has been humbling at a massive scale. I think that many people, including myself, have started to see our lives differently-- we do not control everything, we can make plans but only God knows if they will happen. The pandemic has shifted my priorities-- I am more focused on relationships and things that will last-- rather than superficial encounters and entertainment. I feel like the pandemic has been a giant detox of sorts-- getting rid of all the toxic unnecessary clutter in my life and making room for those things that really important, that nourish me, and I genuinely care about.
