Everywhere you look someone is talking about the ânew normalâ referring to their idea that life after the coronavirus pandemic will look markedly different than life before the coronavirus. Never mind the many pandemics that have affected the world in the past centuries, this post-pandemic world will never be ânormalâ again.
 Iâm not saying that the average citizen in America will benefit from the new normal. In fact, I fear that the average person will once again be on the losing end of some larger agenda but letâs take a moment to evaluate what ânormalâ has come to mean in our nation.
Are we sure that pre-pandemic America, the âold normalâ, is actually where we want to be?
Consider that the old normal meant that almost a million unborn children a year were slaughtered inside the womb without even being given the protection of the right to life under the guise of a Constitutional right to privacy and the primary extermination corporation of unborn children, Planned Parenthood received $600 million in federal funding.
Remember, nothing is government fundedâits taxpayer funded.
Given that most of these abortions occur in minority neighborhoods as intended by their founder, Margaret Sanger, they are threaded into the eugenics movement. Thus America allows eugenics through the government and its corporations.
The âold normalâ meant that almost 50% of marriages end in divorce and many children are raised in broken homes where they are more likely to live in poverty and have mental health problems that follow them throughout their life.
The âold normalâ meant that corporations became the dominant force in the economy propped by governmental policies that ensure the survival of biggest at the expense of the small business. This stellar economic situation then led to consolidation of power and wealth in a few industries and leaders who can easily manipulate the law and pay off politicians to further increase their power.
The âold normalâ meant a life where being honest and virtuous was chided. It meant a life where things had more meaning than people, where individuals had more meaning than families, where men and women lost their identities all in quest to find a way out of the void of unhappiness that permeates a society that has forgotten God.
For a century, we have watched the moral disintegration of society, the destruction of the family, the destruction of the hardworking man, the destruction of vast swaths of society all for the pursuit of happiness by focusing on individual pleasure, trying to find the answers within ourselves --exactly the opposite direction in which happiness is truly found.
In the ânew normalâ letâs try to find lost virtue. Letâs rediscover that happiness is found by focusing outward --giving to others, loving others in our real lives not just through some vague taxation policy.
Letâs put down our phones and walk to the neighborâs house and talk. Letâs teach a child to read. Letâs babysit a child for a family so the parents can have some time alone.
Letâs learn self-control and pursue truth and goodness and beauty in the world. Letâs work on our marriages instead of giving them up when they get tough. Letâs stop using anonymity of social media to insult people online.
Letâs assume the best about each other. Letâs put ourselves in the shoes of those with whom we disagree. Letâs find a way to make our families and our nation thrive. Letâs just love one another.
Above all, letâs agree that the âold normalâ was not normal at all and in end that âold normalâ was not really free at all.
Freedom is found only in living a life of virtueâeverything else is enslavement to vice.
Fantastic essay.
