    pandemics and environmental changes have changed the world as much and more then even the biggest wars.
    the unknown itself, being unknown, has never killed anyone.
    people telling each other what to pretend about it, has killed millions,
    not even counting those who have deliberately killed each other for not pretending to know the same unknown things.

    so the world will likely change. and those changes likely again forgotten in a matter of decades, or would be, if it not for what is happening now, being only the beginning of many more to follow, each closer on the heals of its predicessor.

    its the little things that add up. little things that everyone saw comming and denied seeing because they were inconvenient to admit having seen.

    for want of a nail, not the pissing off of some unseen power, is the real armageddon, which is eco(logical)-pocalypse.

    and its not like we can't have infrastructure without killing ourselves and our planet, nor does the human species have any such biological imparative as to hate logic.
    but it will take logic, consideration, honesty and imagination, for at least the next decade or so, if we want there to be a human species, or one directly descended from it,
    a hundred years, or possibly a good deal less, from now.

    (and consideration for ALL things. not just the box of human society.)

    the seventh fire has been lit. we will learn to walk in beauty. or we will forget how to walk at all.

    I laugh in the face of Fear!

    Ho ho ha ha and hee hee.

    Fear is forgetting that we are eternal souls and nothing can truly hurt us.

    I went to a festival at Finsbury Park in London years ago where they had a marquee set up as a 'Police Chillout Zone' staffed by cops. Unsurprisingly it was completely empty.

    I have already learnt how selfish people have become.
    At least I offered to help my neighbours.
    I also never stockpiled.
    I am waiting to see changes in society and praying that we all look after each other.
    Then again, I always hope.

    Someone told me a long time ago; A life lived in fear is a life half lived. But no way in hell do I want to catch this virus.

    We will. The importance is to support others with unwarranted fears.
    At least the Words scientists are working together.

    Unbelievably, we’ve just had to deal with 20+ people having a BBQ!! Please listen to government advice else this will get worse and will last longer!! #RIPBBQ #COVID19 #StayHome #Foleshill #Coventry
    SHUTDOWN: Police in the West Midlands were forced to break up a BBQ of more than 20 people today. Foleshill Police called the scenes “unbelievable” on Twitter, urging Brits to listen to the government's lockdown advice.

    Some people drown their fears like they drown their sorrows.

  17. We are living souls, but once living, life is permanent. All things in nature are eternal, for time is but an illusion.
