What is getting us through this pandemic crisis is compassion. People caring for each other. We see this with the healthcare workers, with farmers, with sanitation workers, with grocery store workers, delivery men and women, etc. Of course, some work for the money to feed families and to get by. Yet their actions to help others get through this crisis is compassionate. For too long capitalistic greed has squashed compassion. Now it is rising up among ordinary people like you and me. Let’s continue this momentum when the crisis abates to create new waves of compassion permeating everyday life.
