19

We should have expected it; sooner or later, something would have to happen. It’s our fault that we underestimated the problem.

Illness is strict but fair. It affects the rich, the poor, the stupid, and the intelligent alike. It is a river that comes and affects everything and everyone, which overwhelms everything in an impetuous way.

Will we survive? Maybe.

Will we learn something? I do not know.

I know that from this moment, number 19 will be synonymous with terror in people’s minds.

And for what reason?

Because he exposed our mortal nature, he reminded us that we are not invincible. He confronted us with nature’s dominion, and we lost.

Let’s heal our wounds, let’s learn the lesson, let’s not think about revenge.

We transform the negative into the positive.

And we learn from 19.

Maybe.
