2020.
What a troublesome and rocky this year has already been. Australia fires, Covid, closed borders, global pandemic, privacy violations, limitation of movement, mass protests, all sport events cancelled, schools closed, culture on hold, people getting fired, people getting killed…The list goes on. All of that certainly has its toll to all of us. And there are 6 months ahead of us that can make it, and based on the recent world happenings it will make this year even more irksome and difficult for all of us. But to what degree was difficult and can we all learn something out of it, even if many (rightly so maybe?) want to just forget about everything and (partially) move on? Can we or better should we want that old reality back, as if nothing happened? Is that even possible?
Certainly not so. No matter why did all this happen and who is behind all of it, whether it’s mother nature or the most dangerous animal of all, it is a warning. It is a serious warning that should make people think, that something was seriously wrong with the old reality. As if people forget or want to forget about the old reality and how many flaws did that reality had. Let’s start by the global warming and people being in their comfort zone. 3 days ago I saw a picture where on 11th of June in Europe in 2019 there were 724 flights. 1 year ahead: only 34. As a direct consequence of that, the emission of carbon dioxide reduced significantly. And with that, even if for just a short period of time, the carbon footprint improved. Isn’t that something we hoped for and made global treaties in order to try to improve that situation? Isn’t that glimmer of reduced emission a positive? Yes, it came with the cost of many sacrifices, deaths and huge unemployment peaks, and maybe I am not in the position to express my opinion and say that can ever be a positive since I was never on that unfortunate flip of the coin, but I feel like I want to say something and try to highlight and depict the situation from my point of view.
There is a dilemma in my mind: Was this all caused by nature or is this all orchestrated? Or maybe even both? Which brings me to the second point that I’ve mentioned before: comfort zone or better bubble we lived in and trying to learn and draw some personal and collective aspects out of this waking tipping point. As if someone, and I can’t say God because I am an agnostic, waited that we enter this decade and start punishing humanity. So, if they punish humanity we must have done something wrong, something that wasn’t right. Whether it is nature or humanity, the period and the year can’t be a coincidence, also because coincidences don’t exist. Let’s presume it was nature. It comes after serious years of destroying nature, one way or another one. For our personal, selfish and reckless gains. People say they care about the future, but when they say that they only think about their future. A better future for them and their families. And they don’t even see the present and the world unfolding or crashing in front of their eyes. Or even if they see it, they just want to avoid it and live in their bubble and comfort zone. Many claim that they are “global” citizens, but till the moment the Corona virus didn’t knock on their country doors nobody cared what happened in China. Is that the reality people so desperately want back? Where they can return to their consumerism, individualistic world without any or little care given? Till the point where they arrive at their finish line, feeling “happy” as if they succeeded something in life? I don’t want to write this or even think in this direction, because it’s cruel but if that is so, then this crisis was welcomed and needed. The US protests right now are needed, because they reveal problems that were deeply ingrained into the core of society. Sadly, nobody or just a small amount of people will learn something out of all this and will draw some lessons. Sadly only some will dig deep and learn something about them after months of lockdowns and being closed at home. Because people want to avoid things. They want to avoid themselves. And distract and delay everything in their lives their entire lives. Never accepting reality, never accepting sacrifice and never revealing their true nature.
Let’s pass to the “theory” that humanity or someone, whether it’s Masons or Illuminati and/or governments are behind all of this. Why would they want this? Why would they be destroying their economies? The first thing that comes to my mind is new world order and more control over people. More control through the means of social distancing. Because through social distancing and people staying at home and being constantly and more online governments can have a better image of everyone. And they can easily control people. Even the ones that acclaim themselves as rebels. By orchestrating everyone, people are more afraid than before. And for a generation like this that, the younger ones especially, that was already controlled by the online mechanism that they tweaked so that it serves them, it is devastating. Because people now are more afraid than ever before. They want to “escape” reality even more. And weren’t we taught that we should overcome our fears? Even in this scenario where it can be dangerous for our lives? Because if we live with fear, we acclimate to it, and it controls us. We lie to each other that that fear will disappear with the next vaccine. And the next vaccine. And the one after that. But if we don’t make crucial changes to our lives, no vaccine will help us. And that is what governments want. That we want to live with that constant fear, fear of the unknown and the reality. I am not saying that this virus was a hoax. It can never be. I’ve endured a 2 and a half months lockdown. And never complained. I never asked for that old reality back. Because I know it sucks. Because even there, people are controlled and reality is controlled. I read something a week ago that said: “It’s easier to control a mass of people than a single person”. If all of this was created by “them” do we really want to go back? And wait for the next 2 years for that vaccine?
I refuse to accept that waiting and refuse to wish for that old reality. No matter who caused this and what else might come ahead, bring it life. We might have ahead a turning point, a Renaissance, a unique opportunity that we must use it. And like in every war and a major event in history, there must be suffering. Who knows, maybe I will get Covid or something else might happen to me, and I will suffer too. But I refuse to not fight back. No matter how hard it might be, and even if it’s the end. Because life is worth suffering. For the better of all of us. There must be suffering so that there is a brighter future, so that we see the sun after the rain. There is no easy way. Yes it will, and it is painful. And yes I might not feel that pain now and might not feel it, but I will embrace it and won’t ask for a false past nor false future. All of us must learn out of all this. Whereas it’s the easy or hard way. We must learn that probably nothing will be the same. We must be mentally stronger and built that mental fortitude. No matter how hard it might be. And that the world will turn upside down. But we deserved that. And we need that.
So that we can construct a better present and future. Not just for ourselves. But for the world itself, for this planet we are living on. We must exit this crisis and this bubble or comfort zone of ours knowing that there was a reason for all of this and beat the demons out there (first ours). So that nobody can control us, so that we don’t lie to ourselves and we don’t pretend. So that we are more honest, more worthy, more intelligent and better people. So that we don’t fool each other anymore and don’t lie to ourselves anymore.
At the end of the day, isn’t that what we wished for at 00:00:01 on 1st of January in 2020, to be better version of ourselves, be happy and have a good year? Even in the darkest of times, it depends on us.
