Covid-19: “Saved by the bell”

We could imagine the virus, like a referee in the boxing ring when the referee pushes the brawling fighters away from one another when they become so entangled that they can’t even move, see, breathe any longer but simply strangle each other both being on their last breath.

All through Human history, we have been fighting one another, even when we connect we connect only against someone else on a shaky, temporary alliance while waiting for the opportunity to pull the daggers from behind our backs.

Our Human system was heading for “mutually-assured” self-destruction — we could have initiated a global meltdown from multiple trigger points any moment — before the pandemic, the virus stopped us in the 11th hour.

Thus the Coronavirus saved us “before the bell”, giving us some breathing, thinking place.

Thus before we resume our instinctive fight till the last drop of blood we could actually consider other options. We could finally receive and decode Nature’s message, that in a globally integrated, interdependent natural system we can not survive individually, nationally against each other, succeeding at each other’s expense.

We could finally understand that Darwin’s “survival of the fittest” does not mean the “survival of the strongest, the biggest bully” as even Human history proves with great empires rising and falling, hardly leaving any trace behind them. “Survival of the fittest” means those who learn how to integrated, adjust and find compatibility with nature’s integral system.

And in our — modern, global — case this means building mutually responsible and mutually complementing connections, cooperation above and despite everything that separates us, rejects us from one another, against the instinctive distrust and animosity.

And since this requires unprecedented self-changes, self-upgrade, as if installing new operating software on top of the old one, we need a unique, purposeful and highly practical educational method which can facilitate these changes without coercion, without misleading brainwashing, drawing people willingly based on the templates, blueprints we obtain from nature.
