CORONAVIRUS and Strange Times

CORONAVIRUS has created what can be described by some as strange times.

It's interesting to observe.

The health and the life of each individual should always come first. 

Please look after yourself.

But it is worth saying.

Although we don’t know enough about this new strain of coronavirus we do know that the effect on human is relatively small in comparison to a lot of other things.

As we don’t know everything yet about the fuller outcome you should stay cautious and look after yourself.

But are these truly what we could call STRANGE TIMES?

Are they, are they really strange times?

Not really.

I would these times are expected and overdue.

What is strange is the way mankind has accepted strange things like they are normal things.

What is strange is how life is measured on unpredictable stock and share values and annual economic numbers.

What is strange is that we dig massive craters into the heart of our planet to pull out what we see as high-value minerals for profits and despite the destruction, it's largely ignored.

What is strange is how we can see with our own eyes, feel with our skin and mind and even scientifically understand moment by moment the negative effect on the planet through global warming. Yet we accept it when a government says we have set a reduction targets for 2050 despite the warnings of shortness of years.

It is strange when we have to listen to world leaders constantly, endlessly, continuously lie and conspire on open platforms and make the insane sound sane whilst the trusting public accept.

It is a strange thing when we see and watch people abandoned in their own country as people of no value. They get shot at, killed, rejected and even held in prisons to rot because they speak another language. All they want is help to live their life.

It is a strange thing that we have been convinced that all migrants equal criminals.

It is a strange thing when the most obscene of human behaviour can be explained in a way that normal has now become abnormal.

There are many strange things taking place but CoronaVirus really isn’t one of them.

But this is a strange moment and reaction.

Shutdowns, walls, fences, soldiers, armies, fines, isolations will not and can never stop a virus. That is just a ridiculous concept. 

Then again we are being run and lorded over by ridiculous types humans with ridiculous ideas that have made the world strange but a strange world normal.

Over the next couple of weeks, I want to keep my side of my own conversation as optimistic and positive as I usually feel in my own life.

This CoronaVirus drama (crisis) will pass. Greater moments have come ... and gone.

When I woke up today the birds were so loud outside it was deafening. They are getting ready for the warmer weather and new young.

The sky is also very blue today and the clouds are brilliant white. Trees are flourishing, flowers are out everywhere and I can really feel summer heading our way.

Life is a wonderful thing.

But I do wonder with this CoronaVirus.

Has Earth had enough of man's stupidity?

I have never believed for one second that man has the ability to completely destroy Earth or even himself.

Man forgets that we came from this ground, we are made from this stuff. This stuff is powerful beyond what we understand.

On a micro-scale, there are miracles taking place every second in our bodies. The human body is without a doubt the most unexplainable and wondrous thing.

Earth is greater than man.

I did wonder.

I did have a thought.

Climate change has been chasing our tails for decades, generations before the GRETA effect.

Leaders have had chances to change and flatly refused to change based on their annual measures of the good life. Longterm vision is a rare commodity amongst fools.

Is Earth now taking control where mankind has refused to care?

I was thinking about all of those hidden cities they found in the rainforest jungle when the trees were butchered and removed. They found cities under what they thought was virgin rainforest. No one knows what happened to the people or the cities. What did happen? The fact is they were there and now they had gone.

We have been overrun and over consumed for decades. How much consumption can a consumer consume? How many cars and phones can we as human digest and then dump? The march of the idiocracy continues. The philosophies of life coming from blogs run by bloggers in search if clicks before service.

Humans are over-managed.  We are mismanaged. We are over cleaned and disinfected. We have spent years removing the goodness from foods and replacing that goodness with a laboratory chemical known only as a code number.

We have become nations of allergy sufferers. Don’t eat this, don’t touch that and everything is dangerous.

In the life of humankind that is strange behaviour.

It's not new. Worse has been before.

We have lost the art of stop. We forgot how to sit, think and do nothing.

We are being forced by nature to be human.

I said BE HUMAN.

We lost that and are now being asked to return to our humanity.

The lords are fighting it.

The leaders are leading that fight against Earth.

But they don’t know why or what because they don’t truly understand humanity. They only understand the rules. The rules they made not the rules that are created.

It would be a stranger even if this didn’t take place.

The reality is a CoronaVirus is here right now and you should do your very best to stay clean and healthy. Perspective is a good thing right now. It really doesn’t appear to be as dangerous as we are told.

Some words to ponder.

Hysteria. Paranoia. Mass thought. Mind manipulation. Pack mentality.

Let go, stop the chatter. Focus only on what we can control

  • Protecting your mind

  • Eating healthy

  • Exercising daily

  • Protecting your mind 

  • Avoiding indoors with other people

  • Spending more time at home

  • Protecting your mind

  • And of course washing our hands to the bone

Be calm, this CoronaVirus will pass but it will leave a scar. That is a scar we are being asked to wear with pride.

Fear is the expectation of something that hasn’t yet materialised and may never materialise.

These aren’t really strange times.

They are perfect times for humanity to look at itself and answer the unanswered questions of the strange reality we have created.

Peace.
