So when you look at the situation around Corona at the moment, how how do you feel about it or how do you look at it?
I think this there's a lot of crisis mode right now. But at the same time, there's also hope. Because people are also coming together. They are trying to keep social distance, but also going together. And that gives me hope.
Nice. So when you look at the situation, is there anything that you have to feeling that you are learning at the moment? What do you observe at the moment?
I do observe that there are strong ties that are even stronger now and there are weak ties that become stronger too. So there's a lot of solidarity, and I think it is a chance, also to think about what can be different after Corona. And not to do the same shit again. That brought us also into this situation right now.
That is also a bridge to the next question. So when you look at this moment, in this moment in time, what window of opportunity do you see?
If there is a time for reflection how we deal with the challenges right now, I would see a lot of opportunities to really focus on what is important in life and what do we need for a good life. To think about what things are important. Delete things and stop focusing on things that are not so important and we recognize now that they have never been so important in our lives, and we can we can focus on something else.
So taking up this momentum, when you think of the time after Corona, what would you want more of? And what do you want less of in your life?
I think there's a risk that this system that we used to have, that we do have right now and that is also dealing with this crisis – that is transporting this crisis narrative in the current situation – will be be reproducing itself again. And I would wish that there would be, I know that there needs to be some kind of collective reflection on what is a new mode of living that we can all agree upon. What is a new working mode on global solidarity? For example, how can we help each other? Not only nationwide, but also across the globe?
I think it's the same question that we used to have in every single crisis we had in the last years, and I would hope that there would be a new crisis mode. If there is a new crisis, if we call it this way. That will be a different working mode that we deal with these challenges globally, individually and also in our social communities.
And for you personally, what do you one more off in your life and what do you want less of in your life?
I want less hectic. Less "let's start doing something" and more mindful acting what is not really important? What do I really need? Calls are getting longer for example and I have to reschedule. And then this brings me a lot of stress. There is the saying that there's a virus and it takes 20 lives and the hectic take 100 act. So there are 120 lives that are impacted by this to this virus.
But it's more our surrounding and the way how we deal with things. I want less hectic. I want more mindful actions. I want more relying on social communities and also more solidarity and more of helping myself and others during difficult situations.
The last question, what is your wildest dream for the time after Corona? What don't you even allow yourself to dream?
Capitalism is over.
Anything else?
That´s wild enough!
