The pandemic may even have good news, if we follow the human tendency to find good from evil. See what you think of the following:
- People are seeing, by the process of elimination, the good things in their lives, like family, friends, the kindness of strangers, the kindness of healthcare workers;
- Faced with the seeming unsolvable, people are admitting there may be an extraterrestrial solution – God (even those who think electrons have consciousness);
- People are turning to self-correction: if you’re going to leave this life early, why not play safe?
- Maybe the view that life is hell and then you die has shortcomings;
- Some people now want to leave something besides money and bad example; we do want some purpose in life;
- The world is still beautiful; the bluebird still sings;
- The pandemic shows some politicians’ idea of the common good;
- Prisoners see the pandemic as a way out;
- We are more conscious of good hygiene – wash those hands;
- We’re not alone; we’re all in this together.
