הזום הכניס את העבודה הביתה, מה נלמד מזה בהקשר של ליחסים בין אנשים?

A young father with a three-year-old girl sitting on his lap.

A woman with a garden that is in no way the work of a gardener but the love of someone

An elderly couple sitting together on the couch with tea (or coffee) and cookies

A young man with a dog resting his head on his lap

A black screen with only a name on it, that when asked, answered- sorry, yes yes I'm here, just breastfeeding.

I saw all this and much more on zoom recently. In work sessions, lectures I attended, tutorials I gave, and discussions in groups I joined during lockdown. Again and again the questions arose: How will this affect our future interactions and relationships? Will breaking the boundaries, removing the makeup and suits together with the glimpse into our private lives,  change the way we see each other? Many possibilities come to mind, but I wish for at least three lessons to be learnt: *That we see and treat each other in a more "holistic" way that keeps the full person in mind and is more empathic.*That we learn to judge things by new criteria now that we've seen we can do things in ways different from those we were used to.  *That we become more flexible and agile and allow for a new work life balance or new combinations.
