(source- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ongoing_armed_conflicts)

Insurgencies, ethnic violence, civil wars, conflicts and over 200,000 deaths in 2019 alone!

·        Afghanistan conflict

·        Yemen crisis

·        Syrian civil war

·        Kurd conflict

·        Iraq conflict

·        Libyan conflict

·        Kashmir conflict

·        Palestinian conflict

This list doesn’t even touch on intra-country “insurgencies”!

…and now a virus pandemic…

My personal belief is that with the current Coronavirus trajectory, COVID19 has the potential to overshadow all these world conflicts & flashpoints with fatalities.

So, what’s going on? 

·        Is “nature” correcting this Century’s rife?

·        Is this a wake-up call to live within the resources that Earth has given us-

-          not to destroy it?

·        Maybe this is meant to teach us forgiveness & humility towards fellow man-

-          not hubris & greed?

·        Should we encourage education & knowledge for the betterment of mankind-

-          not child labor?

·        If science is to lead the path for a better tomorrow, wouldn’t it be better to do it collaboratively and collectively-

-          rather than conflict & strife?

·        Wasn’t religion meant for our salvation & give a purpose to life,

-          not as a means to power?

·        Is this pandemic a test to measure the level of universal aid & collaboration-

-          or politics getting the better of humanity?

·        Maybe the world needs to concentrate on “small government” to help citizens-

-           not big business?

·        Is this pandemic a test to measure the level of universal aid & collaboration-

                                    -          or politics getting the better of humanity? 

…OR, maybe the answer is ALL OF THE ABOVE???
