Its simply payback time. We screwed up taking care of nature and Mother nature is now wielding its whip to punish us. First the earthquakes, then the volcanic eruption, then the worst of them all, the pandemic. For about a century, man's greed and thirst for power have wrought havoc through the global warming effects of nature's abuse.
Covid-19 is no different. Driven by famine because of foreign conquests and abusive governments that resulted thereafter, Asians learned to eat almost anything that they could experiment on. Even after the famine, the greedy turned exotic foods into an art, catering to the rich in searching to satisfy their unsatiable appetite. Only the rich can afford these kind of expensive exotics. Now that it is killing even those in their elite circle, they are pinning the blame on the lowly savages that peddled these goods.
History-wise, the worst is yet to come. The virus will soon fade away after taking a heavy toll on human lives. But the worse effect of it all will be the debts it will generate in all aspects of the economy of life. Business vultures will try to recoup their loses as they take advantage of the poor and the powerless. Those on the middle grounds will have to deal with accumulated bills to pay, the working class, unemployment. The poor will find themselves poorer and in deeper debts and crimes will sure to follow.
And hope that God forbids. With the way the Western world is pointing their accusing finger to the east, war may not be far behind. And always, when war breaks, the warring powers will fight their battles on foreign grounds. As the saying goes, "When elephants fight, its the grass that gets trampled on".
The only good part of history is that, usually in times like this, a torch-bearing hero comes forth to lead. South Korea had one after the Korean war. China had one after Mao. Singapore and Malaysia did the same. So did Japan after World War 2, and Vietnam after they defeated the Americans. Maybe, just maybe ... our country may have someone to lead us out of the dark ages.

Truly, Mother nature is a serial killer ...
No one's better. More creative. Like all serial killers,
she can't help the urge to want to get caught.
What good are all those brilliant crimes, if no one takes the credit ?
So she leave crumbs. Now the hard part, why you spend a decade in school,
is seeing the crumbs as the clues as they are.
Sometimes the things you thought was the most brutal aspect of the virus
turns out to be the chink in its armor.
And she loves disguising her weaknesses as strengths.
From the movie, "World War Z"
Karma is defined in the dictionary as the cycle of cause and effect.
According to the theory of karma, what happens to a person,
happens because they caused it with their actions. In short,
"what comes around, goes around" or as Americans use to say,
"you had it coming". In spiritual form, the future of an individual
depends on the sum total of his past actions.
Like a bird, gobbling the lowly ants on the ground
With wings widely spread,soaring through the winds and the clouds
It may have its way, cover more ground, eat more ants by the hundred thousand
But one day it will die, fall to the ground, and the ants will have their day and swarm
So is man, rich and powerful, taking advantage of the poor
He gobbles everything in his path towards a treasure's door
With all his money, cars and jewelries, so remains unhappy
Dies alone in bed, family divided, all ravenous and greedy
So is a playboy jumping from one bed to another
Planting numerous seeds on different women to mother
He may have his adventure while moving from nest to nest
But one day he'll fall, loveless, no peace, no home to rest
You reap what you sow, greed and hate begets hatred
As the saying goes, love and compassion is never wasted
It will come back in form of another or maybe another life
Suffering ? A part of life, once it pass, you earn your stripe
And remember what is written below ...
