A small solemn thought....

ARE WE THE VIRUS?

I have this image in my mind of a dog coming out of a pool and shaking off the water...

Like the Earth trying desperately to shake humanity off it's back... we are a curse to the planet! uke:

Yuppies!

As much as all this death, illness, fear and economic struggle is horrible, we needed this. We need this to pop things like the housing bubble, we needed this to draw attention to health care needs, we needed this make us stronger and more aware as a species.

We needed to see that poor and rich are just as vulnerable to world issues. We needed to learn that there is more to life and slaving away and living pay check to pay check. We needed learn about debt and how it drags us down even worse in times like these. We needed to reminded of so much and I pray this virus has taught all this and more.

Sadly, I still think some won’t understand.

I believe LA suggested that language was a virus... maybe love as well?

Humans are the virus .. going back to the Matrix

[Darts]

Yes, humans are the problem. Convid19 is very contagious and humans are super efficient spreaders.

For example, it is assumed that Patient 31 in South Korea is responsible for infecting 5,000 people either directly or indirectly by people she directly infected.

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Actually I think VIRUS came before Matrix and I suspect other mystics philosophers and anthropologists must have proposed it long before that

Ahh good catch Mozo. That was LA's big tune, but she had "Love is a virus from space" as well https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ocjgv5IOgW8

You nailed it Jess. Sadly, I still think most won`t understand. Memories are short and history repeats itself, probably now more than ever.

No doubt... my reference is in regards to the movie matrix, which is philosophical in nature dealing with a dystopian future, but we already know that.

Actually paleovirology is the study of extinct viruses going back before the time of humans. Anthropology dealt with it before then. Philosophy basically used to cover everything from before the pre-Socratics and then the word mysticism is derived from the Greeks and its origins are even older and lost to time.
