Which Way?
By Steve Bennett | February 4, 2021
It seems that we’re at an inflection point, with the end to the acute phase of the pandemic is imaginable. Once the scourge of 2020 is in our rearview mirrors, we’ll have important choices to make. Will we go about our business as usual, or will we take the lessons we’ve learned and perhaps live differently? Will we simply let our awareness of the inequities that the virus laid bare slip out of consciousness and into the abyss? Or will we use those problems as a springboard for creating a more just world? I have no illusions about the daunting challenges ahead, but I’m an optimist at heart and hope we’ll seize the opportunities that await us on the horizon.
