“I have new respect for Nelson Mandela”, my good buddy and old college roommate commented, as he spent time quarantined in India.
Mandela spent 27 years in prison, many of which were spent in solitary confinement and when released came out with a smile on his face.
In these trying times, a few weeks of social isolation is par for the course. It could be a lot worse. Saving lives should be our collective central focus. We got this. And each of us needs to do our part, as responsible global citizens.
