A friend called this moment a “global pause” - not in and of itself a bad thing. An unfortunate incident is slowing us down, reminding us of our common vulnerability, forcing us to think about some things that really matter.A Rilke line: “Let me not squander the hour of my pain.”

It also puts into perspective how much the elites care for the common people (for those who didn’t know it yet), and that is basically... nothing.

Americas underbelly is definitely being shown here. That’s part of the harsh value of the experience, that we’re being confronted with it the way we are.

As often with crisis... What is truly meaningful in life comes to the forefront... While the mundane fades into the shadows... Now is such a time.

It’s time to take advantage of a crisis. This is how your post sounds. I am sure you are a nice person. With well intentions. This is not the time to be like this.

Global pause yes but not for healthcare workers
