Hi, this virus outbreak is really scaring me and there’s something I want to talk about.
Everything horrifying that’s been happening for the past few years is terrible, and we’re more or less powerless, but even if we can’t fix everything, we have to try our best so that we can live our last few years comfortable in the knowledge that we, as individuals, with whatever power we had, DID. As Master Yoda said, ‘do or do not, there is no try,’ so we will DO, no matter how ideal the outcome is.
I’m aware that to some people, this virus is a joke, because we believe that humanity is not worth saving, and we don’t value our lives enough to worry. But you need to worry. Why? Because your parents and grandparents are more prone to the virus than you are. Your friends and pets may be too. You may not even die immediately, you’re going to be isolated and quarantined until you do, or until there’s a cure. Right now, there’s a responsibility on all our heads to keep ourselves and the ones we love safe. There’s still some of us that believe coexistence with animals and the environment is possible, and it kills us more than novel viruses to know that your selfish, careless choices are still what you stand by, with your immature irresponsibility to accept what is the truth. Look deeper than skin level. Hating humans is easy for what they do, and we all secretly wish this monstrous species is wiped out, but right now, hate is not what’s going to save us from pain and suffering. Be aware of what you’re doing, eating, saying. Stop romanticising the easy, aesthetic life and look a little into the future. We need ourselves now more than anybody, anywhere has ever done before.
No, I’m not assigning blame to my friends that eat meat or make choices that are harmful for the environment. I’m asking everyone to try a little harder, help the people around you try a little harder, search for alternatives, join movements, stop bullying the ecosystem and try a little bit harder everyday to be more aware, empathetic, helpful and kind.
