Quarantine

Quarantine must be one of the most spoken words across the world nowadays.
It has been described as the Path toward profound transformations in human existence. The benefits most often highlighted are its effectiveness in controlling the spread of the mutated bug and in allowing Mother Nature to regenerate.

Even so, quarantine is also seen as responsible for the increase in depressive episodes among the world’s population; as the cause of yet another deep global financial crisis; and as the moment chosen by many couples to end their relationships.

Lately, I have heard many questions related to relationships that ended during quarantine — the question I have heard most often concerns what led to the end of a relationship. People try to find a reason that justifies that ending and somehow makes them feel more secure about their own relationships.
They ask and expect an objective and “correct” answer.

The truth is that I do not know! I have no idea what can lead two conscious people, who once fell in love, to end a relationship.

The motivation behind the end of a relationship may be the fading of feelings; or the confinement period forcing greater contact and revealing that the relationship no longer makes Sense in those people’s lives; or even the astrological events believed to have the greatest impact on human relationships; among other more or less acceptable and credible explanations.

Be that as it may, I agree with the idea that this period of confinement, whether more or less radical, is indeed a Path toward profound transformations in human existence, because it gives us the opportunity to question how we have been living, how we have abused our luck by exploring the world the way we do, and how we want to live from now on.

Do we really want to continue living in illusion?

Illusory democracy…
Illusory closeness…
Illusory needs…
Illusory health…

What Sense does it make to consume genetically modified foods?
What Sense does it make to surround ourselves with electromagnetic networks?
What Sense does it make to maintain a sick, mindless, and manipulable society?
What Sense does it make to treat symptoms instead of the cause of an illness?
What Sense does it make to apply treatments that weaken the human body?
What Sense does it make to have the means to communicate with people on the other side of the world, when we are not capable of communicating with the people who live in the same house?

I will stop here, because this list is long!
I will stop here, because now it is your turn to contribute to this reflection.

Leave your Vision in the comments about everything we are living through.
Share with me the kind of world you want to live in.

I am counting on you!
