The way Corona-virus (AKA Covid19)affected our lives shows how fragile our world is. Countries locked down, people isolated and divided from loved ones, irrational stockpiling, racism, panic, media frenzy, financial markets crushing down etc.
This shows how fragile we are and how fragile our systems are. Everything is interlinked and things could change so quickly. This demonstrates how interconnected we all are! All the problems we are facing are interlinked: global warming and the environment, armed conflicts, refugees crises, poverty, and other health diseases. Each of these issues affect all of us directly or indirectly, sooner or later…yet we do not react the way we did with Corona. Thousands of children die everyday of poverty and malnutrition, millions die of car accidents, diseases and other causes. Refugees who lost their homes and livelihoods are stuck on the borders of richer countries waiting for a lifeline. Any of that could happen to any of us. Why are we not more empathetic, where is human solidarity?
Today more than ever, we should be reminded that our struggles are similar and that we are all on the same boat. Our enemies are not people who look different from us, speak a different language, or hold different passports. Our enemies are not people who believe in different Gods or pray differently. Today, we should be reunited against our common enemies: diseases, tyranny, poverty, extremism, natural disasters, greed..etc
We have every right of being scared of Corona, it is a nightmare! and I hope we get over it very quickly with no or the least possible human losses. I hope one good thing could come out of this disaster…more human solidarity and empathy on this crazy planet.
For the Journey ...
