COVID, COVID FUCKING COVID and all its also mutations. Could it also be called evolution? One wonders, and wonders and, yep, no answers. Could one compare the development of this virus to the development of .. us or any other animal? Because in a sense, it is a living organism too? Am I right?? Doesn’t this virus also have the utter Will of survival? And will do anything to survive and make more of themselves? In a way it looks like it… scary, but true…Now we sit here and hope that it actually will come to an end. A month ago it seemed like it, spring has sprung, (even though, it feels like t doesn’t get warmer) and that virus will slowly start to disappear…BUT, NO, it decides to mutate and just changes its way of being… hence, evolution, become stronger, more powerful?? I generally just hope that we, us humans will be able to overcome that phase, moment or(do we need to call it) adaptation.  (to be continued)

What does it mean to reflect? Reflection is an image that you can see in a mirror or in glass or water. So in a way, you mirror your thoughts, within your inner mirror, glass or water.  Isn’t it? You reflect, think, and contemplate. Maybe that is or better should be done much more. Stay, be and act humble… That is only possible when performing the right amount of reflection.

Somehow it feels like that it will come to an end (or is this only wishful thinking)

… this strange situation, … that … “where does that come from” virus,… apparently given to us by nature, a nature’s experiment? or flaw?

Is it nature that has decided to give that to humankind, to give us that type of challenge? OR Is it humankind that gave this challenge to its own kind? Questions after questions and so far, no answers.

Well, one answer to the problem is the vaccination(s). I hope that that will work, next to a respectful and humble behaviour that should be a normality . Without that, nothing will work. Entitled and selfish we are, always looking for the greener grass.

It sounds very pessimistic, rather negative indeed, but being happy and comfortable is important, and obviously in our nature and therefore is the thought and idea of all of humanity to be happy and joyful… nevertheless, blood is thicker and kin the certainty of continuation… Hence, humility is often placed in the second row.

What, to be honest, is understandable but could by times be reflected upon more profoundly.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

But what is a new normal? What do we understand as normal? One year ago, it started that this new reality has become a big part in every ones life.

So before was normal?

Or have we ,us humans overstretched, saturated our possibilities and hence abilities? Now all came to a stop or simply slowed down…

… time to reflect?

Maybe some took that opportunity to do so, maybe some rethought the need of an exhausted and entitled lifestyle. Who knows, we will see once this situation is declared as over.

But will it be ever?

Maybe that is the new normal… Maybe the mask, that was always eye-balled with a grin, when seen in Asian counties, will be accepted as a new normal, a new reality and precociousness in our daily life. Maybe people will start to live more conscious and more aware of their actions, balance their needs more selective and become more critical about themselves and then their society around.

The new normal could be to not exhaust what we have and to not take it all for granted.

This is a unique opportunity to educate and help our children to understand the necessity of being there for each other. As we say, you need to take care of yourself, the others, and your environment.

Maybe all this, this situation will bring it to a larger consciousness within our new, yet to be adults that hopefully will look back at this moment intime and can say to have learnt from this, to make the right decisions in the future.
