This pandemic will not cause illness or misery, it will not result in a global shutdown of production, it will not decimate economies.
What this pandemic will do will cause every last person on the planet to be struck suddenly with the realization that everything and everyone is temporary, and that every single moment of the meager time we are allotted on this big rock hurtling through the cosmos should be devoted to enjoying ourselves as much as possible without harming or taking advantage of one another.
And it will cause laughter. Not the insane, maniacal laughter that Hollywood has graciously wormed into our collective consciousness as being an indicator of diabolical evil, but the belly-busting, eye-watering laughter that comes from hearing the best joke ever.
Happy laughter, if you will.
Wouldn't it be great to be able to walk down any street in any town in any country on the face of this wonderful big blue marble and just see happy laughing people enjoying themselves and each other's company?
Much, much better that walking down those same streets in fear of being attacked or assaulted in some way for looking or talking or thinking differently than someone else, eh?
