Everyone is waiting for the coronavirus to pass. Uncertainty and uncertainty about tomorrow is not restful.
Why are we unsure of tomorrow? After all, it shouldn’t be that way. Fears come in that if I’m out of work, the state won’t do much, and friends and neighbors won’t help save me from starvation, since everyone is worried about themselves. And it is even considered normal and encouraging to say: “If you want to live, know how to spin.
How is it that we, living in one country, surrounded on all sides by ill-wishers, cannot rely on each other? Most likely, it is all the fault of an unusual disease, to which I even invented a name – “egomania.
Egomania is a person’s desire to live better than most of his environment, or at least not worse. And year after year it becomes more and more difficult. And a person really has to twist like a yule to earn a decent living. At the same time, absurd consumption and luxury have become the norm for many.
If we do not look at each person individually, but look at humanity as a whole, we see that we are the most dangerous parasites to nature. We have cut, sucked, dug up, overfished, outgunned, outgunned, and littered everything we could.
The coronavirus, in this case, is a medicine (not an antibiotic, but something lighter) that planet Earth has taken, thinking: “Maybe it will get better and humanity will come to its senses…? Of course, if it does not help, we will have to take something more serious.
It is ridiculous to describe our relationship with the planet by spiritualizing it. It’s just that from my interactions with people, I’ve noticed that it gets them through more, impresses them more, and makes more sense of what’s going on. If you say, for example, that we are on the verge of a mad disaster for all of humanity, and the coronavirus rescue has stopped the consumer economy and given us a chance to think, to weigh our values, it will make you smile or give a little shake of the head, like, “Yes, yes, I think so too. But the information itself did not reach the brain, but stopped somewhere on the outside wiggle.
If to combine all systems in one name “planet Earth”, and even spiritualize it, they say, the poor thing suffers from parasites, and it is necessary to take measures on self-salvation, the information at once is perceived somehow differently. And thoughts creep in: what if she is angry with me personally, too? And it even seems as if it is possible to try to negotiate.
Well, lastly, let me remind you that wine stops fermenting because sugar-eating bacteria secrete alcohol. But when their scum level becomes critical, they die. And it doesn’t matter if it happens faster or slower because of different temperatures, they still die.
Conclusion: we don’t have to think about what laws to enact to reduce consumption. It will only delay the end, but it will not solve it. We need to re-educate ourselves. And instead of using others, in order to be better than them, you have to invest in them, help them, share. And only then will we reach a stage of balance – harmony with nature.
