What was it going to take? How far did we really think we could push back against a life support system that has provided us with breath? How long did we seriously believe we could isolate our arrogant selfish actions while mass murdering everything we saw as below our superior intelligence? Who did and do we really think we are? How dare we put it all at risk. We were WARNED. Are we listening now?
I have always believed it would take a shock so overwhelmingly brutal, an invasion from a malicious alien entity for instance, to bring humanity together as one functioning force. Not an aggressive, we must wage war force, that will blindly continue its destructive insecure patterns of kill it so we can survive. I am not so naive to believe that survival of the fittest isn’t an element locked in for survival and continuance for any species. But when life sustaining realities are in a constant state of brutalization what did we really think would happen when those systems decide to enact their own survival tactics. COVID-19 is erecting a global mirror that is making us face our nature, our human tendency to abuse everything else that resides in and on the greater natural world. It appears that hope and fear are the only emotions that bring us to a full stop. We have nothing else to blame anymore, that infantile reaction is way past use by date. The hope is that this will frighten us enough and the hope is the experience will jolt us enough to force a collective evolution. The hope is that we will become a respectful part of this planet. The fear is that we will breathe a sigh of selfish relief and go bigger and better on the destructive freeway of ruin that we alone have created.
