AzulOscuro, The world will never be perfect because people (including our leaders) are so imperfect but I do think that this crisis is causing some things to change. With change comes risk but also opportunity for some. Right now, in the USA, our Congress is proposing many changes. Some of it seems really good to me. I agree with both you and Discombobulated that the crisis has highlighted that many, many people in this world do not have the food, shelter and healthcare that they need. I heard a doctor explain that the most important thing you can do to protect yourself from COVID is have a health immune system (even the vaccinations work better when your immune system is healthy) . This is very hard for people who do not have their basic needs met to do.

I’m glad that there have been making changes in the States, now, with the new President and the Congress, of course.

I like your positive sight. I’m afraid that I’m not so much so. The world is working in the same way since Prehistory. Only technological advances give us the illusion of a sophisticate appearance.
The same forces rule us. Splitting in groups, differences among them, classes differences, big differences of opportunity to access the resources, lack of few respect for nature and other animals.
The same ways to rule countries, with the same kind of politicians.
I don’t ask them for being perfect, I ask them for capability, honesty and respect for their citizens. I ask for citizens to wake up from the dream we are living in. Education in freedom and capacity for make conscious decisions and run away from the comfortable umbrella of having everything done and planned and brainwashing.

Since we are kids we are said how the world works, which is our religion, where and what you have to do to reach happiness, we have to getting used to having our responsible people lie to keep their charges and we have to see it as normal...I better stop just now.
