This may sound cold, but I want to point out the possibilities, based on the idea that Nature is actually conscious and determined to find balance for the planet.
This article proposes the concept that Nature is a conscious being of some sort, it strives for balance and has a survival instinct, just like any other animal. Nature is the planet, it wants the planet to survive, so that there is a healthy home for everything that lives on it.
The Global population is growing tremendously, it has almost tippled in my life time, and I am not that old.
The planet, with its resources are stretched to limits that it cannot support due to the total population. For example, the fish and seafood population in the oceans is diminishing at such rate, that the natural balance of the oceans is changing, and as that changes, so does the global climate. In 50 years, there may not be any fish left due to overfishing, and if that happens, the climate will change so much that what we call climate change now, will be a minor shift.
The interesting fact about the increasing population is not that we are producing more and more babies, in fact in some countries, we are producing far less, and that has governments concerned about what you may have heard is termed; “The aging population”.
What is happening is that rather than more new humans being born, it’s the older and sick people that are living longer and not dying as nature had designed. Our own medical and technological advancements are working against us and causing a significant imbalance in the global population.
It’s an interesting question as to why a new virus would all of a sudden come out, and I am not suggesting it is man made or a deliberate plan of some evil government, or James Bond villain, but that Nature itself is behind this, with a deliberate intention to bring back balance.
My reasoning is the facts about who is dying and how the demographics, age groups, are responding to COVID-19.
80% of deaths are in the elderly over 70 years old, the rest homes are having the most deaths in many countries. Next, people who are already sick with some other significant illness make up the rest of the deaths.
This new virus may be a deliberate attempt by Nature to bring balance to the human population for the benefit of future generations. Nature does not think about personal loss, it does not think about individuals, it does not think in an 80 or 90 year life span. Nature thinks in terms of humanity and every species, as a whole in time frames of hundreds of thousands, or millions of years, the life span of the planet.
Humans have messed around with nature far too much, and the growing population has just made it worse, by stretching the demands for food, timber, power, and every natural resource to extreme limits, to the breaking point.
If the world economy was not shut down, there would be perhaps 20 or 30 million people die from the coronavirus, however that’s still less than the normal flu kills each year. Although it is a tragic loss of life it’s not something that is going to change the world.
Maybe this virus should have been left to run its course and do its job. If you are religious, although I am not, you will know that the Old and New Testaments and Koran, just to take the largest two religions, all say that God does nothing without a good reason. So if this virus came from Nature, or you could call that God if you prefer, there is a good reason, and the reason, based on the people it effects and how, considering the situation of the human population, is very clear. Balance.
With this economic shut down, we’re going to see in the coming year a huge increase in suicides and violence in the younger population who are not effected health wise by the virus, but are devastated financially. Those that survive will suffer from tremendous emotional and mental distress. This is all going to follow with the massive unemployment and bankruptcies and financial ruin that will take years to recover.
The other danger of the shut down is that if we look at countries with the greatest crime rate, we will see that correlates to the greatest poverty. As Third World countries who are already suffering from great poverty and high crime rates suffer even more devastating economic collapse, the crime rate will increase, which means a tremendous increase in murders and robberies.
If we look at the overall numbers of shutting down the world for the sake of a relatively small demographic of people, rather than letting the world run, we are doubly contradicting what Nature wants to happen, which means, it will only get worse in the next round as Nature tries to bring balance, having been thwarted by humans this time.
Yes, humans can be really smart, but I don’t think we are THAT smart after all.
