2020 04 24 Thoughts On Pandemic
Introduction
Covid has taken world by storm. The life as we knew has ended. We live in a new reality full of
uncertainty and fear. Humanity is suffering from existential crises. Economic systems around the world
have collapsed. Political institutions are scrambling to figure out, how to adopt to this new world.
I always thought in the event of real adversity, we would rise above petty difference and come together in
service of humankind. All the childhood fables taught us this lesson. Boy was I wrong! Darwin has won
and Plato has lost. It is survival of the fittest.
As I sit in lockdown, feeling a sense of despair, I wonder about my life and my upbringing. I still want to
believe, not everything is lost. There is goodness in this world. We can still turn things around, and come
to the light on the other side of this tunnel.
This is a post to reflect on the past, think about the present, plan for a better future for myself. I want to
figure out or rather carve a role for myself in wider scheme of things.
