Staying sane – the greatest challenge of our time By Branko Brkic brankobrkic

As we’re all trying to claw our way back into some kind of normalcy, we’re also learning how to live with the Virus. We’re trying our best not to be afraid, to keep as healthy as we can, and still put food on the table, even as that simple list of goals starts appearing a little more impossible to achieve with every new day.Most of us have known, respected and cared for someone who has died of this horrible disease.

We endured the enlarged swarms of wannabe scientists, pseudo-intellectuals and naked merchants of evil. Right on the clock, xenophobic stormtroopers reared their ugly heads, racists reached their old heights and bad-faith actors made art out of hatred. But all of these big, and real, issues aside, perhaps the most important task in front of us is to keep our sanity. Most of us are living on the edge these days. Most of us could never have expected the pandemic to disrupt our lives so mightily and so mercilessly. Most of us did not know how to cope.
