"Am I comfortable?" is Not the Question



“Am I comfortable with ______?” is not the question.  “Is my neighbor safe?” needs to shape our policies and decisions. Living with the global pandemic calls forth collaboration, both locally and most certainly globally. However, when a leader thinks “Me first,” at all costs, that reinforces our propensity to consider only my individual needs. Likewise, that reinforces The U.S. propensity to think only about this nation. 

Rather than compete, we are called to collaborate, work with, learn from, care for the nations of the world. This is a time to support the World Health Organization and the United Nations.  This is a time to ask, “How can we work together for the well-being of all?”
