“Live simply so others may simply live.” Mother Teresa
These are incredible times that call for incredible measures. By everyone. The concepts of social distancing and self-quarantining are counter to our everyday habits, yet we’re being told that if all practice them we increase the chances of arresting this pandemic. So, businesses are suspending operations and those who are still employed are being asked to work from home. We’re being asked to stay away from others to decrease the chances that this virus might spread. In essence, we’re being asked to live more simply so that others may simply live. It’s been less than a week since the government woke up and got serious about this, and since all of us have gotten that way too. Nobody likes this – not us or the stock markets or the people in the few stores that remain open for the greater benefit of the rest of us. But it’s the right thing to do. Be careful what you do and how you live your life so that all of us can remain as healthy as possible today.
Mary Teresa Bojaxhiu (1910 – 1997): Albanian-Indian Roman Catholic nun and missionary commonly known as Mother Teresa
