To the editor: From the happy outcome of the successful rescue mission of the soccer team in Thailand, there are two lessons to be learned.

The hard one is that global cooperation can be fruitfully achieved for all when we concentrate on human lives as priority No. 1 while disregarding ideology (say, communism versus capitalism), religion (Judaism versus Islam), race (black versus white) and money (corporation versus consumer).

The easy lesson is before entering a cave, remember to check the weather forecast.
