It is not about the economy, stupid!

During this outbreak of health risks, we are learning again the need to be vigilant in our pursuits of peace. We are learning again the hierarchy of needs. We are learning that economic concerns are truly further down the list than is regularly perceived. The phrase "it is about the economy stupid" has been put into the proper light of reality.

Anyone that puts one hundred percent trust in that phrase is someone that should never be in a position of power. Sadly it takes such a situation to make the world understand what is important again. Now we have an opportunity to look at the future and make needed changes towards an improved peaceful world.

The challenges we are having now highlight where society has become blind. The need for stable thought and action from each person to ensure peace and security, the need for governments to be firm, fair and transparent, the need for corporations to understand that making money is not the only thing that matters, the need to understand that the vulnerable people deserve more support and the need to act with compassion is tantamount in every situation.

It is ironic that many governments are calling this an unprecedented event yet such urgency was needed before. The difference is that the rich people started to become impacted. That is the absolute truth of this reality. If this did not impact the rich nations of the world, very few would give a shit.

We are experiencing a reality where peace and security are more important than making money. Even though that has always been the truth of life, many of us took for granted what was actually the most important factors in life.

Every person who is forced to leave their homes understands the need for peace and security, every child who has their families ripped apart due to social mismanagement understands this and now many of the rich are seeing the importance of keeping peace and security a top priority - not money.

This global pandemic is showing us what is actually essential in life. Hopefully we take these lessons to heart and never again stray from them as we have.

It is not about the economy, stupid. It is about peace and security and those can not be purchased.
