Recognizing the global system after the pandemic

The most important impact the pandemic had on the society, on personal factors is that more and more people are aware of it global interconnectedness and interdependence.

And while previously for most it was only a theory, now we actually felt it as we could get infections from others and infect others ourselves on a global scale.

And as the socio-economic crisis unfolds worldwide, while the travel restrictions will also continue, this global integration, interdependence and the need for mutual responsibility will grow.

We will reach a state where at least a necessary, healthy minority will understand that for collective survival (and there is no individual, local, national survival in a global system), for solving global problems (and today all our problems have global implications) we need to build unprecedented, mutually responsible and mutually complementing connections, cooperation - above and despite everything that separates us.
