According to the former deputy governor, acute hardship is biting harder, and there is a need to seek the face of God to ameliorate the suffering, to grant those in leadership across the world wisdom, knowledge, and understanding on selfless non-egoistic actions to take and also grant the masses the discernment, not a clueless support spirit.
