Time to rethink priorities
Even as the global pandemic wrecks lives and livelihoods, it is triggering timely introspection on various issues, including how we do business and communicate with each other. Added to this is the ongoing discussion on why some countries have been more successful than others in combating the virus.
There is little doubt that it is moments such as these that reveal fault lines and deficiencies within society. Dismissed as mere blemishes during good times, it is surely these inconsistencies that make the difference between success and failure when the going gets tough.
While many will be rooting for a return to business as usual, it will surely be a missed opportunity if we cannot use the current momentum to effect change to the status quo. This may be the time for lofty goals such as a recalibration of priorities to ensure a better trickle-down of wealth, so as to reduce income and other inequalities that plague many economies. Whether we can do so will depend ultimately on our own inherent ability and willingness to change.
