As I have been floating around the world carried by air and wind, and at times human whims and fallacies, I can say it has been an epic journey for me. From the moment I was born, in a country and place where you still are grappling to comprehend how I got started, I have sailed across many seas and seven oceans to traverse towns, cities, countries, regions, and continents. I may be a globetrotter for the wrong reasons, but I am who I am because of the way I have been created – over which I had neither any say nor any control.
While you have been unable to see me and have done your best to avoid me, I have had the freedom to be around you without your permission or regard for your volition. Whenever I have been with you, you either suffered or perished. I have been branded as “invisible enemy,” “angel of death,” and “masked enemy.” I might have brought your life to a halt for some time, but I am rather ignorant when it comes to understanding human beings.
That does not take away what I have seen, experienced, and come to know during my eventful lifetime. There is so much that has been said and written about me that I can hardly keep count. It is time to share my side of the story. As difficult as it is to comprehend my point of view, there are always two sides to a story. My account is more about what I saw than what I did – the latter, a chapter I would rather not make you revisit.
As you say, “be close to your friends but be closer with your enemies.” Sharing my thoughts so the valuable learnings are not missed out………….
