People who forced into quarantine will be avare of the importance to being face-to-face, looking each other’s eyes

An invisible ‘enemy’ is forcing people to think about what they do. Are we going to come out of this epidemic by losing our humanity, or will we be able to hear the call of conscience that resonates within us?

A person facing this challenge does not stay the same, it changes. It is very important how this epidemic affects us. Are we going to say ’me first‘ or ’we first’? Are we going to speak in the language of compassion or wrap ourselves in the cover of selfishness?

I think that after the epidemic, the society will come to its senses and finally remember what it has lost. What can I offer people? What can I do for people who are more needy than I am? How can I be a better and more useful person? Now those are going to be the quarterback questions.

People who forced into quarantine will be avare of the importance to being face-to-face, looking each other’s eyes. Who are we and what do we value? How can we bring to life our better self, which is waiting within us? We have faced our own mortality in this ’age of disasters’. So we must choose to live in peace without bickering with each other.
