What have you gained?

So,
in this moment of "essentialism,"
what have you found
to be most important?
When the world "re-opens"
will you change your focus?
Will you have learned a lesson?
Will you have realized
what and who are integral
to your existence?
Will you understand the urgency
of diligent learning?
Will you wander in fear
of absolutely everything
or walk in faith and fervor
with knowledge, compassion
and an open-minded willingness
to educate yourself?
Will you stop and join in
the obtuse and self-imposing argument
or will you
peacefully, calmly, and unwaveringly
walk by?
Will you treat others better?
Will you treat yourself better?
Will you be a better person?
What have you gained?
