I just don’t feel right complaining about anything these days. Sure we are all suffering, to some degree, for being sheltered-in-place, cut off from family or friends, taken out of our routines. But there is hardship and there is hardship, and for so many right now the level of hardship is immense.
I have been truly fortunate: I am not one of the hundreds of thousands to contract the corona virus nor is anyone close to me. And I am not one of the millions who have lost jobs or faced economic crisis. So I speak today as “one of the lucky ones” for whom hardship and inconvenience are highly relative terms.
