Let's understand that being alone doesn't have to mean feeling alone, and that our isolation can help deepen the compassion we need so badly in these challenging times.
It seemed inevitable that the U.K. government would compel everyone to self-isolate as the coronavirus continues to spread around the world. Other European countries including Spain and France have already battened down the hatches and issued compulsory isolation orders. At the very least parts of the U.S. might soon follow suit.
But as whole societies shut up shop, and their citizens traipse indoors with a destabilizing uncertainty about when they might be let out again, it's vital that we understand that social isolation doesn't have to mean emotional isolation. In fact, in many cases it can be an opportunity for us to connect more deeply.
This understanding alone—so far removed from the usual Western understanding of what it is to be"connected"—can be a comfort to those dreading the long days inside over the next few months. But we might also turn to those devices and apps usually blamed for increasing our feeling of disconnection from one another.
