The essence of life is being exposed and the battle of good and evil surfaces yet another time. Throughout history humans have experienced traumatic shifts: wars, pandemics, and ethnic cleansing, to call out a few. But each time, we’ve returned to a place of peace, at least for a while.
Currently we are experiencing another one of those shifts; although, this one is unique from most. Our world is more interconnected than ever before in the history of humans. The Internet has allowed us to connect globally and bring to light the fact that we are all the same in more ways than we are different.
Right now we are fighting a global battle against a common enemy: COVID-19. This is testing us in many ways. But, most of us will survive and the question is how we want to come out of it. There has been a human transformation occurring for many years and now is the time to embrace it.
Unaware of this transformation, we are coming together as a global society to help us get through this together. Across the globe we are sharing videos, meditations, and inspiring quotes. We are all human and mostly want the same things in life.
This issue is that evil always rears its ugly head and distracts us. The current political shift in the world towards nationalism is a reaction to the fact that many of us have lost of way. We became unclear of our priorities. We became a divided world and, in the case of my country, the United States of America, a divided country.
The current global health crisis presents an opportunity we should not miss. I believe there are many more people in this world who believe in peace, love, and compassion than those who are selfish and power hungry.
The issue, more times than not, comes down to Pareto’s 80/20 Principle, which says that 80% of the effect can come from 20% of the causes. The few can overly influence and control the masses. But, knowing this, we can do something about it.
Reflect on what is happening with the current pandemic; it’s horrible, but we are coming together all over the world. This is our time to influence the outcome. This can be the paradigm shift of human consciousness. Good over evil.
I challenge each of us to do our part and make a statement. Show some love, compassion, and connection across the globe. We’re all in this together. The 80% good can easily win over the 20% evil. We just have to make our voices heard now and strong!
