Remember how we used to cover our mother earth with plastics, and now we are covered in plastics. I always used to wonder, in China when it comes to food nothing goes to waste, they eat practically everything (some we know and some we cannot even imagine). You can count more than 30 plant species in one plate of food, or you can find turtle knuckles, gelatine cubes made from duck’s blood, sea food, birds (songbirds to be precise) and yes, their nests too. The horse hoe bats or the endangered, anteater-like scaly pangolins are counted as rare Chinese delicacies. There are some viruses Mammals can tolerate but our particular species “humans” can not tolerate it. Yet Chinese people eat everything thing, it’s like jumping off a cliff knowing the danger involved.
We all are responsible for this plague’s breath-taking explosion, and all of these explain we can expect more from it. COVID-19 is a warning to brace ourselves for corrections that nature always makes when a species outstrips it’s environment. We humans took it way too far, and now there’s no going back. Isn’t it painful? Isn’t it tearing your heart apart? Our lives have been paused by the nature to correct our own species.
Nature isn’t some peaceable Kingdom from which we have strayed. It is a violent place where big things always overpower the small ones. Nature’s balance is a pyramid scheme, everything is recycled, actually works with multitudinous, little creatures are always being sacrificed to sustain the fewer but stronger predators above. In nature no larger animal’s population can quadruple in just one century, but we did it by forcing our food supply with the help of chemistry. Humankind’s presence on earth is now so lopsided that we are literally pushing other species off the planet. As we invade their habits, and poach remaining wildlife for market, their parasitic viruses and bacteria jump to the handiest species left, i.e., US.
That is how nearly 75 percent of new infectious diseases are originated and as the temperature rise, even more will spawn. With billions of us bound tightly and restrained from trade and travel, our mother earth is healing.
So, if you think “MOTHER EARTH IS TAKING REVENGE”, then there’s nothing wrong in accepting that and waiting for vindication from the evil eye!
