The Cure
Serbian reflections by Alek Simon
We can all remember when we were kids and started the school and we had to take a vaccine against different illnesses and viruses. Many of us maybe cried from the pinch, but for most of us, all we got was a bit sick with fever for a couple of days and stayed home from school.
It was unpleasant but necessary, and it made us immune to different illnesses.
So it is with the coronavirus as well. Unpleasant, but it stopped us from getting more sick than we are. Think about it, the whole of humanity is concerned for our existence and we have time to take a timeout to think about what is really necessary. Do we really need to stress about what doesn’t have lasting value — things like money, honor, fame and all the unnecessary products we consume in our daily life? How do we treat each other and the planet — everything for our own selfish desires at the expense of others?
The ego culture of millennia has to come to an end, before we get real blows from Nature like world wars and other cruelties. It is a gift, an alarm bell that says “Stop!”. We have to change in our relationships and implement love. All of us want to be loved. So love thy fellow person as thyself is the only thing “Nature” is wanting from us and we will live in love, peace and harmony together with “Nature”.
