Pandemic has exposed the fallacyof constant growth
Life under the claustrophobic cloud of Covid-19 is, for sure, difficult and challenging for everybody in a vast array of ways. No-one has it easy, many have it tough, and some very tough indeed. From new-born baby to great grand-parents, everybody's life has been changed..changed utterly. Adapting to such fundamental change is a big ask -- a searching question we have to pose directly to ourselves, but imbued with an authentic empathy for all others within our communal collective.
In the variable and vulnerable vortex of anxiety swirling around the country and the world at large, we all have to accommodate many strange changes both big and small. Carping about restrictive curtailments and economic strictures cuts no mustard in sustaining the well-being buoyancy of the nation's spirit of resilience. Of course, those who are most needy for the basics must be prioritised for nuanced support and safety-net rescue packages, but let's not fool ourselves into imagining that we are in the business of clawing back all our pre-Covid scenarios of affluent comforts and luxurious freedoms of entitlement.
