In this day and age, connection is both a blessing and a curse. Courtesy of technology, it is possible to reach out to people half way around the world in real time, something our ancestors during the Spanish Flu can only dream of. The curse of it all is one can only hopelessly watch in horror, dismay and despair as society is dangerously close to repeating history, and not the better part of it, in real time.
Amidst the chaos, one can't help with the feeling of loneliness, despite all the connections as nothing can compensate for that feeling of warmth, comfort and assurance at an exchange of hugs or something as simple as holding hands. But, with the instructions from the Commonwealth and State government, this is the new norm now, a "contactless" world (oh the irony).
Loneliness is contagious. But so is love. And for those that tried their best to spread love, regardless of methods and irrelevant of circumstances, I thank you, from the bottom of my heart. You, unknowingly, may have brighten up someone's day.
