Come On Reach Out Now and Always

Will the coronavirus cause world peace? It has now become a famous threat to mankind. Not to one race, or one gender, but to all of us: believers and non-believers, fighters and peace-seekers. All of us are in the same boat, trying to reach the same shore, that of safety. I wonder if the coronavirus is perhaps a potential reminder that there is no difference between you and me; that, at the core, we’re all the same. In this chaotic time, perhaps we’re forgetting to fight against our neighbors, because we’re all too busy fighting for ourselves.  After all, we now have a common enemy.  All of us.  Jews, Arabs, blacks, whites, Native Americans, Hispanics, Asians; all of us have the same nemesis which is Mrs. Corona.  This disease has united us all.

What if the coronavirus was the only threat in the world? What if we had no knives to kill, no guns for protection, no borders, no racial supremacy, just the coronavirus? Would our lives be risk-free? Probably not. However, we’d still have less death, fewer threats, and better healthcare, because we would all be unified.  So, when we think of COVID-19, let’s think of Come On Reach Out Now and Always.  Let’s reach out to each other forever from now on, no matter what; regardless of our race, gender, religion or ethnicity.
