Survival in Turbulent Times
Are we humans the fittest?
Survival! An intense word often assigned to a situation. Survival in financial depressions. Survival of a broken heart. Surviving a war, or a crime wave or any other delicacy created by our twisted minds.
Darwin talked about the survival of the fittest, as you all know.
Hence the question: are we humans the fittest? Did we do enough to be fit for survival or have we just focused on having more and more of everything and the joys of materiality while being forgetful about what really matters, life that is?
Far from cautioning wealth and the beauty of riches, or sounding like a preacher on a Sunday mass, I think it is about time that we review our priorities and remember how fragile we are facing this tiny monster called Corona.
It is about time to realize that the stock market figures are futile and useless when comparing to the dangers we are facing. It surely is time to wonder why multiple digit economies turned to powerless dwarfs when the pandemic hit. And it hit hard.
It is time to have a look at the coffins lying side by side or the patients struggling to breathe in overcrowded hospitals and learn a lesson.
