John Dixon：新冠疫情不仅是身体和情感上的考验，也是一场道德测试，它在危机时刻揭示了人性善恶的双面性。疫情期间，人们的行为表现出善恶两面性，例如有人在超市抢购厕纸，也有人主动帮助邻居；有医护人员为了救治病人而牺牲自己，也有网络诈骗犯乘机作案。历史上，例如公元3世纪的塞浦路斯瘟疫，也展现了类似的人性善恶两面。塞浦路斯主教西普里安认为，瘟疫考验了人们的正义感和道德品质，检验了人们在患难时刻是否能够互相帮助、富有同情心。尽管我们当前的情况与古代迦太基不同，但这场危机仍然对家庭、雇主、医生、富人和普通人提出了类似的道德考验。这场危机能够揭示我们自身人性的善恶两面，促使我们反思自身行为，并努力展现人性的光辉。

The COVID-19 pandemic is not only a physical and emotional trial but also a moral test, revealing both the best and worst in people, from acts of kindness to selfish behaviors.

Shownotes Transcript

In ancient Carthage, those who faced the Cyprian Plague discovered that there were two sets of symptoms to contend with: those that afflicted the outer body, and those that afflicted the inner person.

COVID-19 is having a similar effect. It is turning out to be not just a physical trial but a moral test. 

The pandemic is revealing the best and the worst of our characters. The former we can celebrate together. Our faults, though, are also worth our contemplation.
