As I sit in my sanctuary overlooking the sea, locked-down and locked-in, here are some thoughts to share with my readers.
The pandemic has levelled the playing field. It has made us all equal no matter our caste, creed, occupation, or financial situation. If an apocalyptic phenomenon, which has the world trembling in its lethal grip, can treat us as equals, perhaps we can respond to each other as equals too. Instead of frowning down with disdain on those people whom we consider to be children of lesser gods.
For the disease has reminded us that we are all inter-connected: whatever affects one will impinge upon another. Hence the boundaries that we have erected have little or no value. Living in sheltered enclaves or gated communities simply does not guarantee our health or safety. Whenever we feel tormented by limitations and lockdowns, we should recall those unfortunate souls whose entire life has been consumed by oppression and tragedy. Through war, famine, displacement or poverty.
