Our world is upside down. Socializing anywhere but online is now frowned upon and in several places around the world, it is against local "laws" (I use the term loosely, as these are better described as dictates by local government officials) due to the Coronavirus. We are fast closing in on the first year of "two weeks to slow the spread". These mandates have radically changed our lives. We can have an offline discussion about whether or not the mandates are effective - I'm not going to try to make that case here, I have more important items to cover.
During the current pandemic and all of the local mandates and guidelines of staying home, social distancing, or wearing a mask - we had an election that included on the ballot the race for President of the United States. You may feel that the race was run fairly, or you may feel that the race was wrought with fraud.
Will the world ever "return to normal?" Natural disasters, tragedies, political upheaval. There are promises that abound offering hope that things will improve. But what will it take to obtain hope that never fails?
