What the Corona virus really interests me is not so much the virus but our reaction to it. What we are witnessing is a huge
global wake-up call. All of us have been in our own little cocoons for so long with everything going our way that suddenly
when we are faced with death we get spooked. Big time.
Everything is controlled by our technology. We have health care, computers, iPhones. We have all the food we want, the average
middle class American family takes for granted a life of luxury.
The result of this life of luxury is
that it allows us to believe that things will continue on just the same. We shall continue our life of pleasure. . We have
New Cars, a large screen TV. We have it all. All of a sudden there is a the panic, we can't buy enough of water, toilet paper,
hand sanitize and soap? and don't forget to wash our hands.
Then corona virus comes along and we get scared, that’s because we have ignored the reality of death, and when the Grim
Reaper appears our knees start knocking. But the corona virus has not only awakened us to the reality of death, It has immediately
made us aware of our lack of preparation for death.
Now, this is what really interests me, not so much the corona virus, but our reaction to it. What we are witnessing is a huge
global wake-up call. All of us have been in our little cocoons for so long with everything going our way that suddenly, when
we are faced with our mortality, we got spooked. Big time.
