19 Insights from COVID-19
The uncertainty of life is obvious from just looking at what is happening in the world around us. For example, good people suffer horrific illnesses, bad people seem to get away with murder. People are suddenly cut down in their prime, losing their wealth and health, family, friends, freedom, country, or whatever. We are never safe. We never know whether by the end of the day our whole life or world might not be changed. … Our lives are always precarious and what is happening to others today could be happening to us tomorrow.
