The Covid-19 crisis is a time to remember that there is no Us and Them. This is a time to finally get rid of this mentality. We are a global community, faced with the same problems, and in need of everyones help to solve.
It is also a good time to take off those rose colored glasses concerning our history. There never was a pure race, a better time, or a perfect culture. This stupidity causes immense suffering and death. This thinking leads to dictators and totalitarianism. We can’t live in or recreate a past that never was. We must build a better today and a future.
We have not been soiled by immigrants, the others, the THEMS that populate our tiny planet. We are THEMS to somebody else.
No single person, culture, race is to blame for any of our current problems. WE ALL are to blame.
There is only US, WE, together. We are all one species. Homo Sapiens. All of us.
We occupy the same mote of rock in this infinite sized universe. One part of this dust speck is not separate from the other.
The sooner we get to this point, the faster we can solve our biggest threats like pandemics, pollution, poverty. These affect us ALL.
Stop politicisizing everything and everyone. It is time we smartened up and work together.
It is also time to stop pandering to the 1%. We are all in this together.
If this disease doesn’t teach us that, the next one will be a thousand times worse.
If our current crises don’t teach us unity, the next crisis will kill us.
