“THE ONLY WAY TO FIGHT THE PLAGUE IS WITH DECENCY” ... “THE PLAGUE” 1947

The Plague  by Albert Camus
                                                                                                                            Written from the perspective of a doctor in a small town, The Plague portrays how an epidemic or pandemic                                                                                                                               strips away the relentless focus on material wealth and success and lays bare what really matters: human relationships, care, connection.

Like many of us who have recently returned to that classic, I am struck by its relevance today.

Anything can become the plague, anything can prevent us from being open to the deeper realities of life.
