Thank You, Corona Virus

A friend sent the following to me this morning. It is quite powerful, and reflects the kind of thinking I and I'm sure countless others have been engaged in of late.

May we truly take some lasting lessons from this ongoing catastrophe.

  1. It's all about prespective, Lorne. May we see all of this in the proper perspective.

    1. There is a real opportunity to make lasting change, Owen. Let's hope the world takes it.

  2. I wish for the very same outcomes as you, Lorne. Yet I fear if we don't learn from this, if we don't chart a new course, we could succumb to Andean fatalism. What are our premiers, our prime minister, and his colleagues from Trump to Johnson to Orban, - what are they after? Do they want a better world, a world transformed, or are they looking to restore the status quo ante? So far I've not seen any signs they're warming to the idea of a tide change.

    1. Unfortunately, I'm sure they think the status quo is just fine, Mound. If I am right, our viability as a species is very clearly in doubt.
