The old world must die, a new world must live. The struggle to live inspires sacrifices out of the ashes that we are loathe to see. The magnanimous gesture of care wrapped in the deceptive cloak of guns and bullets, the false promises and show of power, the data of deaths and contamination will energize our inner strengths into an unimagined bravery heretofore unseen. The old world must die so that the new world will live with a breathtaking force for those who will survive among us.
