Writing today, on a Sunday, which is a significant day in the Christian World. Everyone is supposed to be fulfilling their obligation to God and gathering in what is defined as a holy building but people can't go to church due to this coronavirus, I guess the devil has taken charge since sickness is an agent of this entity named devil. This has been bugging me all morning, like what are we living for because all these years people have been defined by the church and state institutionalization but now the world is facing a crisis which has led people to self-isolation, many don't even have families to isolate with so imagine the feeling of being on lockdown with the very broken part of yourself, that's if you even know yourself. It's clear that all these institutes just provide a safety net so people are never critical about themselves and their lives but then one can never achieve full consciousness by playing it safe. A lot of good has been achieved by religion in terms of improving people's lives but people mostly go to church to improve factors outside of themselves, very few people pray with a sense of responsibility, the majority just plead to some God out there to help them deal with problems that were apparently brought by a devil. Now is the time to confront your own demons, at least some pastors leveled up and have been hosting online services but if you have no wifi that means your connection to God has been cut hey. If Catholics are having online mass I wonder what the plan is when it's time to receive communion.
Anyway back to the subject of responsibility, I'd like to focus on the position of the people with the state. People have been put on lockdown and state security is enforcing this lockdown meaning that people have been automatically subjected to obedience, how long this will go on depends on the states' effectiveness in dealing with this pandemic since the theory is that if life goes on as it has been then the virus will spread at a faster rate. We just have to believe this and remain in confinement, at least the majority of the population that is not financially free because if I was a business tycoon of some sort I wouldn't mind exploring my mansion in this period. Having a passive income stream at this period depends on how essential your service is because people have dismissed a lot of luxuries during this period. Where I'm heading to is the fact that soon people will feel more dependent on government as there is no security of income and governments will have to introduce policies to save people. I know I now seem to have diverted from the topic but that's exactly what I'm addressing. If so many people's lives are supposed to revolve around governments and church then how come people right now people are holding it down on their own. One wonders if humanity shouldn't be at a point where we're revising some of these constructs that have been imposed for centuries. Maybe it's time for people to understand natural universal laws instead of creeds and policies that seem to be only bound by belief/imagination and no justification and understand what actually matters in life because now it's clear that humans are just pawns on some chessboard and those who try to reach the other side are obviously condemned. Is life what we've always been taught? Will people finally wake up and realize that there's no need to be subject to some hierarchy that only benefits those at the top.
