Dear World, you are loved. Dear World, not just a part of you is facing the pandemic, but all of you. It's so fascinating because this virus spreads through one of the ways that human beings thrive: connection. Because humans are so connected, this virus spread and caused a pandemic throughout the world largely because people are social beings. Because of things like globalization, world travel, hugs, handshakes. Because people literally are together, a pandemic has spread across the world quickly.
We have now learned that "social distancing" is one of the most effective ways to slow the pandemic, however, I think I prefer the term "physical distancing". We still need socialization, we still need people, we still need connection. We really need connection. And this is coming from a strong introvert that has no problem of going days without interacting with people. But I know we need connection. I know we need each other. It is important for those who can stay physically away from others do. There are many professions, including mine, that literally can't right now. It's also important that everyone still connects.
Show the world that you love it. Dear World, we love you.
