Virus as Teacher

Yesterday there must have been some kind of planetary alignment:

--The Pope expressed solidarity with Aboriginal Canadians;
--Obama celebrated 100 days in office;
--Israel celebrated its independence;
--The pandemic alert went to Level 5.

So the Christians apologize to the Indians, the Jews are happy to have a homeland, a black man is thriving in the White House and a virus infects us all equally.

What’s the lesson? Difference is a problem for us. The virus? It could care less. If we can’t get it through our heads we are one people of many hues, maybe the indiscriminate cruelty of a virus will clarify the matter.
