"We are all connected
Seen
from space, the Earth has no borders. The spread of the coronavirus is
showing us that what we share is much more powerful than what keeps us
apart, for better or for worse. All people are inescapably
interconnected, and the more we can come together to solve our problems,
the better off we will all be.
One
of the side effects of seeing Earth from a the perspective of space, at
least for me, is feeling more compassion for others. As helpless as we
may feel stuck inside our homes, there are always things we can do —
I’ve seen people reading to children via videoconference, donating their
time and dollars to charities online, and running errands for elderly
or immuno-compromised neighbors. The benefits for the volunteer are just
as great as for those helped."
