Ominous era or Halcyon days ahead?
Around the world, it seems a force has taken the earth in hand, power-shook it, leaving all the humans scrambling for cover, some make it, some get swallowed into such horrific unfathomable end. Cities flood, high-rise topples, earthquake cracks, volcanoes erupt. Scientists explain the possibility that sun flares interfere with earth’s atmosphere creating energetic force affecting radio and navigational tools.The energy then converts the force to transform and manifests itself in disproportionate human failings.
A reminder of what transpired in the last two years, in case you were held-up on Mars or Jupiter with no access to inter-galactical communication:
This is only a small slice of what happened between 2020-2021. Myanmar dictatorship flourishes killing its own people who disagrees; US republicans attempted a coup; Oldest health-declining US President elected; France backstabbed on submarine deal; Thai democracy crumbling; British Royalty evading lawsuit of underage sexual activity; British King-to-be, accused of taking cash-for-knighthood/citizenship, masking payment for honoring the Prince’s Trust charity; Taliban terrorism re-emerge, Economic meltdowns across continents, Islamic Sunnis vs Shiite vying for dominance. US cowardly turning away from 20 yrs of terrorist protection from Taliban’s terror. This is just a snippet from a two-year world diary.
Between August 2020 to October 2021 sun flares erupted. Some blame the tiny crown-shape virus mistakenly spilled, or intentionally produced, creating a domino effect creating mistrust, control, while money making opportunities for those in authority multiply. Powerfully rich entrepreneurs saw a way of racing in a rocket three times the speed of sound or 2,300 miles per hour enabling the possibility of finding a new world.
Controlling a pandemic requires authoritarian governments to close boarders, restrict movements and instill questionable rules in preventing death, punishable in some countries, of jail sentences. In certain destination, their economy relies on tourism. The meaning of tourism combines rest, discovery, exoticism plus opportunities of new businesses came to a grinding halt after the shutdown, causing fractures along societies.
Does this mean a long apocalyptic time to refix and recover what is, irretrievable?
For sure, it will never be the same ever again.
Just the basic change alters many aspects of how we conduct our lives.
Mask wearing:
People recognition more challenging when only eyes are visible.
Audio deciphering muffled words require repetition.
Oxygen depletion increases ongoing conversation.
Physical contact:
Hand-shakes, western physical greetings, social spacing – all prohibited
Sharing food or utensils changes behavioral patterns
Constant hand cleaning becomes an obsession bordering on disorder
Mental issues checked :
Intermittent social isolation causes anxiety and depression
Long term social isolation extrapolates onto suicides
Inability to recommence close friendships
These are highly sensitive issues that must be considered and weighed up. However angry the sun shoots these flares, or whatever happened in clinical trials of accidental droppings or invention of the virus with intent to kill, we must conduct our lives with care and start to live.
Whether its floods, earthquakes, building collapse, governments fail, royalty oversteps boundaries, unkept promises; is it not true that with every apocalyptic era brings about fine art and beauty?
Or something in between.
