The values of typical, large, post-industrial Western societies have deteriorated, and unchecked capitalism seems to have created a mindset where all is possible, all is allowable all is excusable if one has money"<br />HALLELUJAH! As you say, perhaps the pandemic will help us redefine what is truly valuable and worthwhile in our lives and society.JohnDotGarveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07928748850738121068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-8113178359654163082020-04-16T03:32:09.822-11:002020-04-16T03:32:09.822-11:00Thank you for another thoughtful post in these tro...Thank you for another thoughtful post in these troubled times.Thaddeushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02434362513246225454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-1763780903859547702020-04-15T18:19:52.207-11:002020-04-15T18:19:52.207-11:00I think it is despicable that anyone becomes viole...I think it is despicable that anyone becomes violent and abuses other people. How much more disgusting it is that health care personnel are attacked by the people they are trying to help.<br />How lucky we are in Australia compared to other countries around the world. I often complain to younger people that things have deteriorated over the past few decades, but on reflection now, we still far better off than others around the world.<br />Thank you for your thoughtful posts.BarbVielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423389347046739734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-26265971479028236072020-04-15T06:49:33.276-11:002020-04-15T06:49:33.276-11:00As a retired nurse, I appreciate your post. Yes, I...As a retired nurse, I appreciate your post. Yes, I was verbally and physically assaulted while working and, no, it's not acceptable. <br />As an American, I must say that I wish our government had responded more effectively to COVID-19. Bluster and blunder seems to be the watchword for our president. I am glad to hear that Australia has had more effective leadership.<br />As a human being, I see the potential for some good coming out of this. People may wind up with better health habits which may help to lessen the likelihood of something like this happening again. Perhaps even cold and flu season will be of less consequence next year. But the most positive effect may be a better appreciation of the value of friendship, community, worship, and the enjoyment of the freedoms we once took for granted. <br />I ope you remain safe and well. <br />https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2020/04/more-from-archives-duke-chapel.htmlNCSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17617227847364562989noreply@blogger.com
