Why

    Why is it that it takes a major worldwide pandemic to put people in the “we all need to get along” frame of mind?  Now you see people from all walks of life who want to be kind to their neighbors.  They come out on their lawns and sing together.  They stand by their walkways and dance together.  During “normal” periods of their lives they would hardly speak a simple “hello” if they passed one another when coming or going to work!

     Why is it that it takes a major worldwide pandemic to put children in the mood to actually want to leave their homes and go to school?  These are the places where they will learn how to function as adults in the world when they graduate.  These are the building to which they spend the major of their time during the day hopefully learning how to get along within a human society made up of very imperfect people.  These are the same places that many will spend literally hours in various attempts trying to figure out how they can get away from their necessary activities and yet still get credit for being there!  Now they are required to “stay at home” and do their schooling via Zoom or some other conferencing method on the internet.  And what do many exclaim:  “Why can’t I go to school?”  Go figure!

       Why is it that it takes a major worldwide pandemic to (in effect) make people appreciate the hard work that so many “menial” employee positions provide to us?  Sadly there are those individuals who have made the lives of store clerks, stockers, fast food restaurant workers, and others extremely miserable, when their own lives make them feel someway superior to these workers.  Now they want them to stay at work so the shelves get stocked or they want them at the fast food windows so they can get their drive-through lunches.  Why can’t people have (and show) real appreciation for such individuals all the time?

     Why is it that it takes a major worldwide pandemic to make people act more like humans and display the love and concern for others that we should be displaying all the time?  Why do these things and other thing like them happen today and at other times?  The simple answer is very obvious - - - We’re Only Human!
