2020 was a year without precedent.
It marks a sea change in our volition to keep pushing the limits ever further, shattering the illusion that we are invincible and superior as a species, and confronting us with the painful and tragic recognition of our human frailty.
We have been submerged, thrown off course and traumatised by the tidal wave of COVID-19 and its repercussions. The pandemic has broken this unsustainable lightness of being that had served as a pathway and a hope for us. It is no longer a matter of discoursing on a supposed “world after” but of acting to ensure humans and living beings are shown respect and placed at the heart of our future. 2020 should be a milestone in the process of challenging predatory systems and should witness a radical paradigm shift. Compromise should now cease to be an option.
