Social distance and our ideal of equality

A lethargy is settling in us, in terms of our ideals of  social equality,  our  generosity, care and understanding that we had felt for our fellow beings, those near and those a far, people all suffering the onslaught of covid, all under the same sky, in a levelled world! But with the recently discovered clarity of this post covid world, with a shift in this  definition  of fraternity , the "social distancing" I can see, all of us are at different levels in every way; mine so high, and theirs so low’; of mine being shiny white and theirs being so black, this superiority of my ideologies over theirs; and this imperialism of my isms, over theirs; and I had thought we had walked away from these ideas, well, by putting such a long distance in-between us!
