Covid-19 permanently changing us

Dangerous, unprecedented crisis

In general - globally - COVID19 will cause changes we haven’t experienced in our times.

Even in terms of our socio-economic system many predict, that the crisis that unfolds after the quarantine (which crisis has been brewing for decades, at least since 2008) will be equal to or worse than the Great Depression in the 1930s.

And as it happened then, we can also helplessly sleepwalk into a global war as those who are leading us are very limited in their tools how to handle such crisis situations.

We can’t ignore Nature’s laws of integration

The point is, we can’t continue with our present, unnatural way of life, built on excessive overproduction, overconsumption, building bubbles on top of bubbles ignoring Nature’s laws of integration.

Since we are integral parts of Nature - contrary to our stubborn, subjective belief of existing above, outside Nature - we can’t ignore these laws as sooner or later the system will reject us more precisely we ourselves eject ourselves from the system.

We need to learn the lessons of Covid-19

So if we learn the lessons of the pandemic and the crisis well, understanding that we can’t behave egotistically, individually in a fully integrated, interdependent system, then we will be able to rebuild our societies - not only nationally but worldwide - in the blueprints of Nature.

By that we will be able to solve all our problems - that are the direct result of our incompatibility with Nature, with our evolutionary conditions - and we will safeguard our collective Human survival and optimal development.

We can’t continue living in our own misguided illusions any longer, we exist in a lawful Natural system and either we keep those laws and succeed, or we ignore, break those laws and we keep failing until we self-destruct - as Humanity has been so far.
