| Undoubtedly, life will be different from now on, hopefully. We are all part of the ongoing tragic and drastically speedy invasion of the human space by the tiny virus COVID-19. This virus has dramatically and forcibly disrupted and stopped the way the powerful and the various actors on the world stage operate. For once there is palpable fear and trepidation at all levels of action and the arrogance found in the world of politics and social life, the economy and markets, finance and businesses, the arts and entertainment industry, cultural and religious leadership and indeed the entire world of research and education including science and technology have been put to question. The Coronavirus has unleashed monumental and damaging pains on the world with thousands of the dead and sick people lying around that even the living have no possibility to bury their dead. The proportions of this unfathomable pandemic with its devastations are still unclear and the end is unknown to humankind. Yet, yearnings are already loud with hope for something new to emerge post COVID-19. Could this tragic global pandemic usher in some massive attitudinal change from all persons and institutions needed towards establishing enduring values that sustain and promote life? |
