The ongoing global pandemic of the Coronavirus has made it more evident than ever before, that we are a truly inter-connected world. Issues of North, South, West, East, race, tribe, ethnicity, white, black, rich, poor, language or even national/geographical boundaries are all in the end irrelevant.

Change at Any Cost?

I believe that for real progress to be made in any sphere of life there has to be change over time. Nothing is so good that it cannot be improved upon.

If not it cannot be a change for progress, a change for better, or a change for good.
