The Law of Relevance

When something is "relevant," it matters. Its importance is clear at least to the objective observer. Relevance is the concept of one topic being connected to another topic in a way that makes it useful to consider the second topic when considering the first. If something does not have relevance to the problem we are facing, we need not consider it as we try to solve our issue or move forward in our life.

So, consider these ideas and see if they are relevant to us as we face this pandemic. No matter how scared, or tired, or ill you are; no matter how lost, or confused, or desperate you become; no matter how lonely, depressed, or cranky you feel. If you just do what you can, with what you have, from right where you are, it will always be enough. Pretty good odds, huh?

The concept of relevance is studied in many different fields, including cognitive sciences, logic, and library and information science Relevance is simply the noun form which means important to the matter at hand. As we face the pandemic, many of including artists and politicians are worried about our relevance but as we are on this journey into the unknown or forgotten realm of a new normal, we really do not know what is relevant and what is not. So, no matter what your situation, do what you can with what you have, and it will be enough. If it is not enough then you will find the strength and courage to find what you need to make it relevant. Life is not strange as mankind has always worked with what we have to make our world relevant, and we, I think always will.
