The Covid-19 will make us stronger as from now on we will continue developing in a more conscious way.

Whether we want it or now the pandemic and the lockdown has awakened crucial scrutinies and questions in all of us. We were forced to face an unprecedented choice between a life we used to live before, which the virus disrupted, and a new life where we positively use the global integration and interdependence we have discovered as a result of the virus.

We will have to become constantly conscious from now on, as living through global connections is not natural for our inherently selfish, individualistic nature.

Thus we will have to make ourselves work on the mutually responsible, mutually complementing connections, cooperation — fully understanding through the right education that in a global, integral world otherwise, we won’t be able to solve problems and survive — while the instinctive desire to exploit others, disconnect and try everything alone will constantly appear and try to pull us away.

But this constant inner tension, a conscious effort, working against our egotistic instincts will make us truly Human, developing purposefully, in a mature way.
