All three goals have been at the head of many powerful efforts and enterprises, and indeed, continue to be relevant in today's society.

Equality is the one in my line of vision at the moment.

We have social distancing and limitations on numbers attending any function, encouragement to wear masks in public places, and more recently, the music classes involving brass and woodwind instruments as well as choirs have gone into recess because of the virus.

Notwithstanding this widespread coverage, we still have football in its various forms with young people falling over each other in tackles of various sorts without any attention to the need for social distancing.

In addition to that, teams and team members are being flown in for games when ordinary people even with urgent needs are being refused travel permits.

This looks like an exercise in Liberty, but certainly fails the mark for Equality.

One can only ask the question, what makes sport more important than anything else?

We have Governments allocating millions of dollars for stadiums and sporting facilities and the like while thousands of people are unable to find or afford suitable housing and the cost of living.

Another area of inequality would have to be in the travel area.

I don't understand why any Department would need to take years to process some applications while others seem to take priority.

We need our decision makers to be able to consider the whole picture, not just pieces of it.

We have Australians stranded overseas trying to get home to our shores, others unable to reach their loved ones in distress both in and out of our country, yet a wealthy gentleman got permission to leave Australia recently to pick up a yacht.

One can be forgiven for seeing this as an exercise in money talks.

Both Liberty and Equality demand respect, compassion and respect for our fellow human beings, irrespective of their place on the social ladder, their race, colour or creed, or their financial position.

Some weeks ago I wrote in this column about the plight of Charities like our Bloomfield Hospital Auxiliary, being unable to conduct our usual fundraising for the support of the people with Mental Illness and associated issues.

I have been delighted by the number of supporters who have come forward to offer some assistance and make a donation.

Times are hard, and businesses are doing it rough, but so many hearts are full of kindness.

Jesus reduced the multiple list of commandments simply to two - Love God and Love one another.

What I see is an expression of this.

Hopefully, in the near future, we will be able to have some relaxation of the current restrictions because of the virus and more equality in the way rules and regulations are being carried out so that everyone can resume their family life, their work roles and their livelihood.
