Though most of the strict and enforced confinements during Corona time have eased, we’re still locked down in a sense. Modes of thinking and even thoughts have been changed – and this will last for a long time. We think differently; our patterns will change, our views on authority, on science, on historical norms and ways of life – they will all change … We were masterful; we could do things without too many hindrances, but now we are less certain. How can a virus and its spread seem to conquer the world?
Perhaps an equivalent time was life before WW1 and after its start. Societies with regular order and norms suddenly thrown into a breakdown of all of that: rich or poor, the people of Europe were all in the same boat: death and destruction. Memories of peace and order come back, but the war is present and persuasive.
As Christians we have hope: a hope that is rooted and sure, yet we live in this world and suffer with so many that suffer; there is no more a “them and us” – the virus is indiscriminate.
