    Quoting  :

This is actually a piece of digital art that a friend in Seattle sent me.....He's working on his cartooning skills between his commercial commissions..........He's also a drummer who had lots of gigs before the bigC.......His wife is a professional photographer who specializes in family and fashion photography, so now she is trying out other subjects.......Necessity has motivated people to branch out in different ways.......I know quite a few adults of my children's generation who are taking online courses out of boredom and are finding interests and even passions that they never would have explored if it weren't for Covid......

Then there are the millions of commuters who have discovered that they don't have to go to an office in order to do their jobs well. There's a huge revolution of online stay-in-place workers . They have been busily calculating the enormous savings in time, money, pollution, fuel from working in place......

Some people will sit and lament the problems, others will look for those silver linings in whatever circumstances arise. Sounds like your friend and his wife are going to succeed in spite of the set backs.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Imagination is the key......

I see a huge movement online of people who have closets full of business clothes, who feel freed up by staying home and working online, and others who really miss the trappings, people and ritual of going to the office every day........But I'm fascinated by what it means in a Social and Human developmental Psychology sense........Here these hundreds of millions of Humans dressing up and commuting to their place of work every day because of collective habit.....when their jobs entailed operating technology that we have had for decades.....technology that would be just as efficient and productive if operated from home.........Buying all those clothes, burning all that fuel, constructing and maintaining all those buildings.......all out of habit

Really makes me wonder what other useless and destructive actions Humans are taking on a large scale out of nothing but Habit.......
