Our Biggest Enemy in the World, Between the Tides

How a memory, connected to, the current world’s situation right now, translated…

To prevent the spread of MERS-CoV, the groups I have all reminded me that it is, more important, to wash my hands often, than to fight for the surgical masks, there was someone in the group who’d, shown how to thoroughly, wash our hands; one of the key is that it takes three “Happy Birthday to You” times, as the total time it takes, to wash our hands each and every time.

I’d done that a couple of times, but felt, more and more, awkward, and started feeling, that every time I’d gone to the sink, there was, a camera, zoomed in on me from the universe, to signify, that every day, is a, new life.

I’d thought about, measuring the time by seconds then, but, I’d, recalled something about washing my hands.  On the year I went on work-vacation in Australia, the food company I was hired by, because the government issued a fine, started ordering that all employees wash their hands upon entering into the facility, and the company even hosted an info session on the matter too.

The owner of the factory who’d loved showing that he’s something scanned each of the employees with that sharpness in his eyes, asked, ‘Who is a person’s, biggest, enemy in the world?”, in the end, he’d, stared, right at me for the answer.

It’s ourselves.

I’d stated, with complete, certainty, flashed, a too handsome, smile.  The owner was stunned, and, after a short while, hollered to everybody there, “The GERMS!  It’s, the GERMS!”.

Several weeks later, he’d led the company, and surpassed the sanitations checks by the government, and yet, because of how he was, so awful in paying the employees, shortly thereafter, the company broke the labor laws, and, it got on the news.

And, as I’m, washing my hands thoroughly, I’d often wondered about this factory owner, of how he’d, thought of me often, in the form, of a, prophet?

And so, this, is how important sanitation is these days, and, now, we have, a common enemy, the illnesses, and how quickly, it’s, spreading, and the only way to keep it out of our homes, and our living environments, is by, keeping our work stations, clean, sanitized often.
