What have we learned from the pandemic?

Question from the Internet:

“What have we learnt, globally, from this pandemic politically and medically?”

If we want to be honest with ourselves, we haven’t learned anything useful from the pandemic.

The single most important lesson of the virus was to show us, how much we are inevitably integrated and interdependent. Still, individually and collectively we stubbornly continue with our inherently egocentric, subjective, exploitative calculations and actions, constantly surviving, succeeding (if succeeding at all) at each other’s expense.

By this, we behave like cancer and as a result we keep progressing towards a global meltdown, self-destruction.

Unfortunately, since we did not learn from a relatively mild blow, predictably greater, more serious, more destructive blows, crisis situations will come until we understand as a result of intolerable suffering that we have to change and adapt ourselves to Nature’s fully integrated and interdependent system.

Of course, we have the ability to consciously, purposefully and proactively start these inevitable changes, adaptation before suffering pushes us.
