I'm re-reading Viktor Frankl's Man Search for Meaning (it's mandatory reading for all humans by the way)

His description of life in the concentration camps, of the ordinary prisoners, not the famous or infamous ones, is quite telling of our current situation.

The first stage is shock and disbelief, and even unrealistic optimism. Then apathy sets it, the prisoner is only concerned for their own welfare and perhaps that of close friends.

That's it.

As we are moving through this pandemic, have you noticed apathy setting in? Now that we are beyond day 60? People caring significantly more about their own survival (or comfort) than those of others?

We are now faced with a choice, do we continue to sink into apathy or do we rise to empathy?

Get skin in the game, choose wisely.
