A positive projection to the time after the pandemic

I think what we can observe today on a global scale is the very stark contrast between the usual, egotistic, individual, uncoordinated, mutually exclusive reaction how leaders, nations and some individuals responded to the virus; and the mutually responsible, mutually complementing cooperation some other segments of the society responded, how much better those are succeeding, recovering who are trying to solve problems and survive mutually together, instead of trying to survive at the expense of one another.

Thus the positive, powerful changes I project for all of us to the period after the pandemic is the potential ability Humanity has if we all learn the lessons of the crisis and we don’t blindly try to run back to life as it was before the virus. Instead, we can rebuild our societies on the correct, mutual interconnections in between people, nations, and then develop new economic systems, education, governance based on those positive, mutual connections.

This way we will be able to “foolproof” ourselves for future global crisis situations, will be much better placed to actually prevent them. Only through mutual integration do we achieve similarity with our evolutionary circumstances — in Nature’s fully integrated and interdependent system — and then through that similarity, we will “organically” learn and know what to do, how to develop further.
