Golden Opportunity - Jim Slaughter's Blog

As terrible as the coronavirus pandemic is, it has, at least, and at long last, succeeded in accomplishing one truly good thing, in my opinion. It has managed what throughout human history has never happened, and what was thought by many, myself included, to be humanly impossible. For the first time in our history, all the peoples of the world have been drawn together in one united front to combat and ultimately defeat a common enemy.

Let us fervently hope and pray that after this battle has been won, as it surely ultimately will be, this dark segment of human history will prove to be a better teacher than all the ones that have come before. And let us also hope and pray that once this current crisis is past, this golden opportunity for universal accord and spirit of co-operation will not simply end up on the historical trash heap…along with all the others.
