(…and Yet Further Tirades of a Layman [COVID] – 4)
June 12, 2020
(Do you follow Marvel Cinematic Universe?)
With one snap of his fingers, Thanos eliminates an arbitrary 50% of the world’s population; according to him it was to correct Nature’s imbalance … he was “trying to save the universe from itself”.
Yeah, right!!!!
Compared to any other living being on Earth & the seas, humans’ capacity to harm & kill each other, and exploit & destroy the world’s resources, is unlimited.
Is the Coronavirus pandemic nature’s way of correcting our exploitation of the World?
Is the Coronavirus pandemic a lesson to humans about the value of Life?
Is the Coronavirus pandemic here to give mankind a taste of its own Medicine?
Whatever the reasons, we need to sit up, learn and rectify our ways.
Unfortunately, I don’t believe this is going to happen in this lifetime! As I said, our capacity to harm others gets in the way of all the good that we, as a human “community”, can potentially do for each other.
In spite of this global pandemic, which continues to rise, these last four months have shown that we continue with strife, war and conflict; instead of banding together as one community regardless of nationality, creed, caste, religion, colour, gender to solve this threat.
In spite of this global pandemic, most countries continue to approach this threat with internal strife, no unified policy and no cohesiveness.
In spite of this global pandemic, politics and “big” business still comes in the way of human life and morals.
Few countries, like New Zealand, seem to have overcome these obstacles & been successful …
For others, is “Thanos’ Snap” imminent?
