INTRODUCTION
SAY GOODBYE TO THE PAST AND WELCOME THE FUTURE
At the time of this writing, we are slowly emerging into our “new normal” in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pan- demic. Now and in the future, we must maintain hope and a constant renewal of our commitment to respect, love, and compassion for each other. We are entering a new world, and we must stop and commit to an increased awareness of our responsibility to ourselves and others to maintain the well-being of everyone. Our actions and reactions and the degree to which we follow the recommended guide- lines will determine our quality of life, now and in the fu- ture. Let us commit to collective empowerment and good health, with the help of God.
In this new era, we must ask ourselves important ques- tions about how we must interact with each
other as we return to work—either through the Internet or in person, adhering to the present guidelines. These are our most important focal points.
We want to share our perspectives with our readers and promote a feeling of optimism and hope in our trying times—and for future generations—who may experience similar trials and tribulations, as yet unforeseen.
