The Positive Strain

While the medical watch with extreme caution how the existing H1N1 pandemic level 6 play out, one can clearly see the demographic migration and effect of the strain carriers as they travel to different places causing some contraction of the virus to those who have made contact. From its initial detection in Mexico by the middle of April, the virus has spread with rapidity to around 70 countries and causing cluster of cases which finally led to declaration of the pandemic level 6.

But unknown to some, there is another H1N1* virus that has been going around since time immemorial. It has experienced its ups and down when the infection rate was really high and at times when it can hardly be noticed at all.

Nobody is immune to it.

We all have it inside.

Our ancestors have it.

Our great great grandfathers have it.

All of us living in the present time have it.

Our children and all future children will have it also.

Even the bible reminded us about it.

Maybe one can try to deny it but in the end, this “virus” which finds its initial stages inside the heart of a person, work its way into all parts of the human body until reaching its final terminating point which are the lips and hands.

We can call it the H1N1* virus.

It is an acronym for Helping One Neighbor One (each) day.

It is universally known as kindness.

May all of us aware of this positive infection within us allow the good virus to completely take over our body, for this is the only way to awaken other people with the same capacity to be kind yet are still reluctant for some reasons.

Kindness is infectious only if the carrier is willing to do it.

Be kind even if other are not, will not or opt not.

Be kind to one another.

God bless.

Ephesians 4:31-32

All bitterness, fury, anger, shouting, and reviling must be removed from you, along with all malice.

Be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another as God has forgiven you in Christ.
