I'm not so certain adaptation for its own sake is a healthy avenue. Adapt to what exactly? In the course of normal life events, yes, we need to adapt as we are able with the help of family and support groups.
However, with the rise and speed of technological advances almost every aspect of our lives have changed. I'm not so sure for the better.
Did you hear the one about the woman that asked the Amish man why his community did not wear masks or show alarm over the virus? His response was that they don't have television.
I have such admiration for the Amish people and their simple life styles. That would include the Hasidic as well with their limited use of the internet outside the home. Home life and community is kept simple and meaningful. That is wisdom and an example of healthy living as I see it.
So while I agree we need to adapt, I also think we need to be careful on what we embrace as normal and worthy of adapting to.
