In a world that has gone mad and viscous I think that we can all agree kindness is a pretty good virtue to have and use. When people get afraid they look to protect themselves. In that protection-mode, they may say or do things that they normally would not if they were not afraid.
Folks, people are very, very afraid today. Here are some common universal fears:
1. Will my family or I get sick with COVID?
2. If Trump wins the election our country is doomed!
3. If Biden wins the election our country is doomed!
4. How will my business survive?
5. How will I make rent?
6. How will my kids be able to be educated online?
7. How can I go to work when my kids are home?
8. How do I get my clients, patients and customers to return?
9. Will my business be burned by protestors?
10. Will China and the US relationships deteriorate
11. The list goes on and on and on....
Knowledge overcomes fear. . Communication solves all. Compassion helps ease tensions.
