Hitler and coronavirus.
What do coronavirus and Hitler have in common? How does coronavirus help save the planet? Why is coronavirus the best thing that happened to us in 2020?
The end of the world has arrived. Empty shelves in stores, closed borders, no traveling by air or railway between cities and countries, deserted streets. There are panic, chaos, and despair in the air. People do not know what to expect tomorrow. The savage fear of death has obscured the minds of people so deeply that they are now fighting for toilet paper. How can humans (Homo sapiens), supposedly the smartest creatures on Earth, behave in that way? Are we all going to die? “Yes, exactly, but … not today.” Now let’s get into details.
In the fall of 1907, one ambitious painter, eager to make the world a more beautiful place with the help of pictures, failed his entry tests to an art academy. His plans for the future collapsed overnight, but the unfortunate student did not give up on his dream. We can make the world a better place, not only by creating beauty but also by removing everything ugly, old and sick. That was exactly what Adolf Hitler thought, taking his first steps towards power, the extermination of socially unwanted parasites and an attempt to create an ideal human being. Coronavirus selects its victims following the same principle. It chooses old, sick, people with chronic diseases and weak immunity who would not survive if we followed the law of natural selection. Coronavirus, being a good predator, just like a wolf, simply wants to make the world look better… Despite the fact that quarantine in Italy began just 11 days ago, fish, swans and even dolphins have already returned to Venice.
How does coronavirus help save the planet? Despite the fact that for many years scientists around the globe have been ringing the alarm about global warming, the extinction of the Great Barrier Reef, the disappearance of a huge number of plant and animal species from the Earth, most governments are somehow reluctant to take actions to reduce the harm done to nature. Ordinary citizens are not helping either. Coronavirus in an instant showed to all mankind that it is feasible and even essential to take measures to prevent a disaster way faster than by 2030 or 2050. As well as quarantine and forced self-isolation, the measures to save the planet from global warming, pollution, and overpopulation should be taken today. We can’t wait until tomorrow.
Why is coronavirus the best thing that happened to us in 2020? When was the last time when you all of a sudden got the opportunity to spend 2 weeks with your family and pets? A huge number of people have switched to remote work and therefore received a bunch of free time out of the blue, since they don’t have to spend it in traffic anymore. This time can be used to learn something new, to chat with friends who you have not talked to in a long time, to learn more about your nearest and dearest, finally to stop and think about the future. Now, we have the opportunity to change the order of things to give ourselves a chance for the future.
Ladies and gentlemen, now let’s check the important lessons that the coronavirus taught us.
1) To have a lot of people in the same place is bad. They are a threat, first of all, to themselves. The time has come to accept that abortion is not murder, and large families are not the pride of the nation. Overpopulation exhausts the resources of the planet, kills plants and animals, creates a huge number of social problems, including war, unemployment, terrorism, and hunger.
2) The resources of the planet are limited, and they need to be consumed sensibly and only if absolutely needed.
3) People are not the smartest creatures on the planet (fighting for toilet paper, are you serious?) and have no right to put their interests above the interests of the other inhabitants of our planet.
4) Education, and especially the access to education for women, is the one and only solution to global problems.
We are used to considering ourselves to be the masters of the planet, and believing that our actions have no consequences. This is not true. We are used to believing that religion saves us from all misfortunes. However, the fact that even the Vatican closed St. Peter’s Basilica shows that this is not so. It’s convenient for us to think that we do not make decisions, and it is only the government who we should blame. And this is also not so. The end of the world is happening, the end of the usual way of life. There comes a new time, a period of revision of values, laws, and a reunion with our roots, The Nature.
