By Amir Dabirimehr<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Aside from worries about the fast\nspread of the novel coronavirus, having affected the life of more than 80\ncountries including Iran, one question continues to boggle the mind: What\u2019s up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is it limited to an ordinary\ndisease? Is it the long-feared Apocalypse? Are we trapped in a loop of\ndisasters and calamities? Are worse calamities and threats like a meteorite\nstriking the Earth awaiting us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Social media has been replete in\nrecent days with such content as users resort to cyberspace to express their\nfear. Failing to find any clear answer, they choose to joke about it for\nentertainment. However, the question remains significant and serious although\nno answer is found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How come despite so much progress in\nscience and technology, genetics and medicine, humans are failing to tackle the\nemerging COVID-19 which is racing ahead and killing people from across the\nglobe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n When this article was being written,\nthe number of patients in the world had crossed 100,000 with at least 3,400\ndeaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At stake is not the disease and concomitant\ndeaths, but the anxiety and stress occupying the minds of billions of human\nbeings who see COVID-19 hanging like the Sword of Damocles over their heads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What added to worries was the\nwarning from a senior World Health Organization official that it was a \u201cfalse\nhope\u201d to think that the disease would disappear in summertime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even if it was to vanish in the\nsummer, the iron is that the southern hemisphere would be starting their cold\nperiod of the year and a virus migration would restart its destructive campaign\nthere before returning to the northern hemisphere in the next cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That is a grave human crisis that\nmay be viewed from various aspects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, I am looking at it from a\ndifferent point of view, which may draw positive or negative reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The important thing is to make\neveryone reflect on this calamity which is likely to end in a better world for\nhuman life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The fact is that behind the\napparently calm, humble, silent and indifferent nature lies a strange\nsmartness, watchful eyes and very precise scanners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Human beings have long plunged into\nanthropomorphism and megalomania in dealing with the phenomenon of being. Such\nrevolt is global, uniting believers, antagonists and atheists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This totally wrong belief that\nhumans are the only objective of Being and Universe has grown into a general\nconviction, solidified by myriads interpretations on one side and a plethora of\nself-styled philosophical and logical justifications on the other. Relying on\nsuch belief, they feel free to do whatever they would like and meddle with\neverything. In other words, there are no restrictions to our movements in this\nUniverse. Animals have become just tools at the disposal of our revelry and\nrecreation, little knowing that they are entitled to as much existence as\nhumans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Whatever has been said so far is\nborn out of the minds of such beneficiaries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The justice hidden in the being has\ndetermines a status and station for every creature. Human beings\u2019 aggressive\nand murderous nature has, alas, persisted and overshadowed the realities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Humans have been such cruel to the\nnature, from soil to sea, water, mountain, river and even air that from time to\ntime nature is forced to react to the barbaric behavior of apparently civilized\nhuman beings in the form of floods, storms and temperature inversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Human cruelty is not limited to\nanimals and plants in the nature. It does not even spare its own descendants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Universe is smartly watching the widespread inequality,\ninjustice, poverty and modern ignorance prevailing in the world. Hideous and\nimperious conducts are justified with theories and quasi-theories while the\nmedia lullaby humans into ignorance with their well thought-out plans and\nentertainments to prevent them from understanding the tragedies happening in\ntheir surroundings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Capitalist\nworld, with its misleading decoration, is selling people the imagination of\nhappiness at an exorbitant price, the pseudo-religious dangle the promise of\nhappiness in the afterworld while fundamentalists, determined to build the\nparadise in this world, fan the flames of hell. Daesh is a case in point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How is it\npossible to see this level of war and crime in the world without feeling its\nimpact on the life of others? The most important lesson every human being\nlearns from the coronavirus is that the fate of each and every human being is\ninterlinked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are not\nliving in parallel worlds; rather our worlds are intertwined. If there is injustice\nin one spot, the impacts will be felt everywhere else. We cannot build an iron\nwall around ourselves and separate our fate from others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We may say that\nthe coronavirus is just a natural reaction to human\u2019s deeds. Nonetheless,\nnobody is spared; there is no distinction between sinners and non-sinners, the\ngood and the bad, the ignorant and the offenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Being is\nsending a message to self-declared civilized humans to set themselves free from\nthe delusion of megalomania and superiority complex. This Universe was created\nmore wisely than you thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Earth is\nnothing when compared to the greatness of the Universe. Our time \u2013 \u06f2\u06f0\u06f2\u06f0\ninclusive \u2013 may equal a second in the hundreds of billions of years of life of\nbeing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The rules of\nthe Universe are not created instantaneously to be falsified by human beings.\nAs long as you respect the rules of the Universe everything will be in your\ninterest. However, if you stand against the universal order by trickery and\ndeception and hoist the flag of humanism against Being you have to brace for\ndestructive reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The coronavirus\nis one of such reactions, but it will not be definitely the last one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Will humanity\nbecome mature enough to start a new life in post-COVID era and behave more\nhumbly and more kindly to nature? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Amir Dabirimehr Aside from worries about the fast spread of the novel coronavirus, having affected the life of more than 80 countries including Iran, one question continues to boggle the mind: What\u2019s up?
