Facing Pandemics

We fell asleep in one world woke up in another, where we feel a warmness that starts at the throat, hard to swallow, feels its way down the spine, heavier and heavier, harder to shake. The feeling that a gaze can render you naked and vulnerable, that shift and shape itself inside you, a feeling that changes your whole view. People are considered having a total manufacturing defect; a psychological threat that changes your mind in tough situations, times we see with our eyes humanity fading away slowly and slowly, coming closer to us with days.

The days when doing the opposite is no longer considered a futile act. When not visiting friends and families shows an act of love and compassionate, hugs and kisses suddenly becomes a weapon. When Money can’t give us what we are really fighting for. When the environment just do fine without the humans moving around. At just that very moment we remember that we are guests to the planet.

We are already in a chaotic world where being at the top of the pile of your accomplishment only means more burden, becoming someone different only comes at the expense of your healthy relationship with people. But sometimes, the simple things are the most profound reminder of what is important.

We are hurt badly that we get detached from our emotions making us fear nothing which on the optimum way only makes us vulnerable because the point of maximum danger is the point of minimum fear. We suffer from notions of consequences from some people’s actions paying for their mistakes which came at a cost of our freedom of mobility and honesty which the humans can’t just do ok without. Our brain hates the idea of losing something valuable to us, so we abandon all rational thoughts and make some poor decisions automatically becoming a blueprint to be victimized, but it’s a point where we use logic not our psychology, checking all the odds and remembering we all have a simple goal of protecting our lives. Strive not to die but strive to live.

We all have a wish of living honesty to dissolve the line between our internal and external worlds, but now it became a luxury that only the rich can afford, in a society where more than 60% are living in poverty. A cost of confusion circulates like the oxygenated blood from our heart leaving no one to trust, loosing integrity, failing advancement, resulting to psychological war between the poor and the minority, blaming each other for everything except for their own type. We live in the same worlds but split in sub parts.

But now the world turned to a galaxy with lots planet in to live, where the majorities can’t afford the luxury of living the big comfy ones only left with fewer options for which they forced their lives into to the cages, having cost of living they can’t afford by not leaving their habitat. It’s a society where people take advantage to dark times for extortion, a time when what we need the most becomes a luxury not everyone can have.

Faith is not just about religion, it’s about realizing we are all in this together, it’s easy to forget how connected we are, it’s easy to feel scared or lost or angry from trauma of the ongoing tragedy, but humanity concern is the reason we are different from the rest primates, sickness doesn’t belong in our body, stand firm and keep that risk low, don’t accept it as permanent thinking it’s going to be that way, see it as temporary, and this too would pass.
