I think a natural defense mechanism in uncontrollable situations is to try to find something to point at and say, “Oh, that’s why!” In reality, bad stuff happens everyday that we can’t control. How we choose to react to it though, we can control.
Not trying to start anything political, but I find it ironic that in an era where when many have been trying to isolate our country from the rest of the world, that short of building a dome over our country, the world is woven as one. As bad as the situation is now, and as bad as I think it will be before it gets better, it’s my hope that many are realizing how small our world is and how dependent upon each other we are. Down the road when the virus has run it’s course and settles down, I believe that globally we will have learned something from this event and be better as a result.
