As the wave of Coronavirus rolls toward us, we rush into the arms of
our beloved ones to protect them, to hug them, to tell them how much we
love them. This apparition of potential death threatens all us indeed,
but paradoxically, at the same time, it is perforce bringing families
together, both genetically and non-genitically. Certainly grandfathers
and grandmothers, wives and husbands and their chilren, aunts and uncles
and cousins and nieces and nephews form centripetal emotional groups that
are held tight be love. Dear friends, co-workers, golfing buddies, Thursday night poker players, congregations of different religions, various fraternal organization, sowing and knitting gatherings-- every imaginable kind of
group will bond. Out of this worldwide castastrophe, the whole world
could learn the limitless scope of love, and when we discover a vaccine
for it, or when the pandemic finally dissipates, humanity could remain
bonded by love, and there would finally be Peace on Earth, forever.
