Did We Learn Anything from the Pandemic?

 · Are people willing to go back to a world of so little respect and so little democracy?

One perspective is that we are witnessing the death throes of the old economic and political system that may have been helpful at some point but that became outmoded, unwilling to change with a changing world, and instead became entrenched and rigid. At this point that old system seems willing to pull the entire planet down with it rather than change.

Time for the masses to declare their independence. Our survival depends on it. The old system were like warfare in which the underclass is sacrificed, sent in first to run the risks, and do the dying and suffering, while those on top reap the economic benefits, safely ensconced high above the battlefields.

With the pause that the pandemic has created we have learned and relearned several important lessons. We were reminded that:

 · All human life is sacred and significant.

 · We can depend on others to help in a time of need.

 · Family and community are the very heart of the survival of the human spirit.

 · We are far more resourceful, creative, and resilient than we thought we were.

 · We don't need others to tell us how to survive, even under great pressure.
