Contrasts

There was a hard-hitting article on the struggle to survive the pandemic in Indonesia for the poorest in today's on-line Guardian. The huge disparities in people's different experiences of the health crisis struck home. The uneasy truth is that we've had an easy time of it whilst others - not all that far away - have paid a mighty price. I think I'm beginning to feel a kind of survivor guilt, which doesn't do any good for anyone at all.
