It is said that the true hallmark of the character of a nation is how it responds to adversity and whether, faced with a crisis, its people can put aside their differences and work together for the good of the society. A reference is often made to the British people during World War 2, how they rallied under the leadership of the arch-colonialist Winston Churchill to defeat Hitler, but then dumped him in the first election after the war.
If we do accept this theory, what does it say about our own society and how we face up to the challenges we face? Here we are, after a painful year during which almost 2000 persons have contracted COVID-19, though fortunately with only 10 deaths, our children deprived of face-to-face schooling, and losses of jobs and incomes to many workers, farmers and small businesses. Do these not indicate a major crisis, worsened now by the threat of the violent eruption of the Soufriére volcano?
