It is rather interesting to me, that in a world that is full
of “broken things” that a very small microscopic virus is the single thing that
has the power to make the biggest changes.
We have all shaken our heads at the broken health care system, the
broken political system, the broken education system, the break down of
religions, the breakdown of our infrastructure and I could go on. On some level I believe we have all been
expecting some great messiah in the guise of a president, a holy man or some
other great person that will step up and save us from the current pending
pandemic.
The reality is that no one person will save us. We have to save each other by working together
with friends, family, and community. Staying
home, living simply, and helping where we can is how we can best contribute to
the world and fix the broken things. I
have a whole new appreciation for the janitors, the grocery store employees,
the truck drivers, and so many others that I truly did not value as much as I
should have. They have a huge impact on
how we live our day to day lives.
This crisis is very different, the only way to fix it is to
change how we all think and act towards each other… they are extraordinary
times indeed, but perhaps it is nature’s way of making the corrections ordinary
humans cannot….and when it is all over I hope we all see the other people and
the world from a new perspective.
