The year 2020: The World Through a Pandemic
The 2020’s pandemic crisis “gave” our planet and some of its human inhabitants an opportunity to slow down, stop, and reflect on the status of our relationship with the natural world, our inner world, and with other fellow humans. It was evident that the quality of our relationship with all these elements of life on Earth is below ideal. Except for the millions who have paid with their lives due to Covid-19 we have been spared graver consequences.
For now. However, I firmly believe that if the self-destructive relational dynamics with the biosphere resume without radical changes, the world would better prepare to confront a new set of calamities in the not distant future.
There is no time to waste. There are no warning words to spare. If we honestly love and care, we can’t remain quietly standing by the sidelines. HOPE. The light of hope must become our northern star to guide. Future generations depend on it and on the kind of foundations we build today for the sake of a harmonious existence that celebrates and enjoys peace, prosperity, security, and happiness at no one’s expense.
