Abstract

Humans are inherently proud of their intelligence and talents. They think that they can control the universe and rule the world with developed and modern science and technology. Everything seems to be under human control. But recently, the Coronavirus pandemic has affected people's lives in all aspects such as economy, education, lifestyle. Indeed, it has changed people's views and ways of thinking. People no longer consider themselves to be everything but feel their fragile limits. As with the Catholic beliefs, there is nothing out of God's control. From that perspective, three valuable lessons I learned from this event: The first lesson: It is God who can do all things but still respects human freedom; The second lesson: recognize the fragility of the human condition; The third lesson: unite to work towards the common existence of humanity.
