21. Call me naive, but I think most people are good.

It is through these people that we will get through this. People are sharing more than ever. There are simply acts of kindness everywhere. We're checking up on people more, especially seniors.
We can save our energy by not criticizing people who have different coping skills.
Our creativity is already growing. People are making masks for health workers. We're actually coming up with alternatives to toilet paper!
Sure, there are people who are trying to profit from this virus, but as people begin to be more positive, the number of these people will drop.
I'm 68 and I've seen a lot of shit. I survived it all and I know we'll survive this.
