In other words, our governments want their citizens, as much as possible, to become isolates, keep our physical and social distance from each other.  To avoid sneezing or coughing on other people, in case those of us who are unfortunate enough to have contracted this renegade virus, were to infect them with it.  Our communities are being locked down, sealed off, in much the same way as an army carrying out a military operation might seal off a village.  To find and destroy an enemy lurking inside of it, and prevent it from escaping and taking over other villages.  Or as a defence against it becoming infected by 'the enemy', in case it is not already infected. The difference between the military operation and the Coronavirus operation, I think.   Is that, at least in some countries, all that is being done is to seal of communities, with apparently no plans to then carry out a campaign of testing the residents and treating those who have been affected by

'Us humans do not refer to archaeology and anthropology, but to sociology and psychology, to understand contemporary human behaviour.  So why must humans rely on what was written in the past, with its unproven authenticity, as the primary source of 'God's' purported contact with humans?' Yes, notwithstanding the 'God' of the Jews, the Muslims, the Christians and all other religions that believe in a sentient 'God', to show or demonstrate his 'Godly' credentials and power.  In a most paradoxical manner, he is held high by all of them. He, 'God', is told by them given to understand by them, that he does not have to prove that he has the power which they ascribed to him.  The power which is most known because of it never having been demonstrated by he whom, it is argued by his followers and believers, to possess it.  And yet, while this 'God' is told that he does not have to prove himself and his power,

'Every situation or event, be it one of trauma or celebration, contains within, it opportunities which can be of benefit to us. The challenge for us is to find these opportunities and act on them.' The Coronavirus is bringing fear and desolation to probably all the people in every part of Planet Earth.  With, in the worst cases, over 3,000 people dying in China and over 1,600 in just one region of Italy, Bergamo, as well as not to mention the thousands who have become ill with the virus.  Both the fear and the reality of it are washing over us as might the ocean.  It is flowing and there seems to be no sign of it ebbing anytime soon. Fear and trepidation have become our normal currencies, as have panic and, it seems to me, hysteria.  As I have said, people are dying, in their tens, hundreds, and, is a few extreme cases such as Italy, and, probably Iran, their thousands. And even more are becoming infected by the dreaded Covid-19. The response of our go

'It not sufficient for any religion to use old and ancient scriptures, doctrines and texts to seek to prove the existence of 'God' or the divinity of their religion.  If ones 'God' is a living 'God', then he/she ought to be able to demonstrate that they are alive.' Even if the more self-absorbed and flighty amongst us, might proclaim that 'God' has touched and/or spoken to them.   Although I do not see how they can or would be able to prove that it is 'God' who has touched them, if 'he' cannot be seen and does not talk to us. And still, none of this matters, is seems. None of this absence of evidence of 'God's existence appears to matter for the millions who believe in and worship a supposedly sentient 'God.'  A God who is capable of and willing to speak and converse with humans. Not in aeons past, but now, today.  A sentient God who is willing to say, 'I am here with you; now, and

Notwithstanding her aches and her pains, most of which will probably remain with her until the end of her days, as it were, and her on-going dissatisfaction with the world and people around her.  My dear mother continue to soldier on, conducting her life with as much character and dignity as she is able to maintain. Indeed, on our most recent visit to see her, I found it most pleasing to note that it was one of the best days we had had with her, as she was mostly in a positive and amenable frame of mind.  In fact, the only slightly down side was when, having had her dinner interrupted by the arrival of the DN to administer her insulin and test her blood sugar.  My mother returned to restart eating her meal, but not before making the laconic comment:  " But D......, the food nuh good." Whereupon my heart beat probably slowed with my acute feeling of disappointment.   That the soup which, I felt, was a near master piece, should be so cruelly and i

And we could make it happen. Simply by reigning in our selfish and competitive human inclination, and unleashing and boosting our cooperate and collective work ethic.  Not for many years, but for many decades.  That is how we give our and other living species a fighting chance to survive for several more millenniums. That is how we can reduce and roll back some of the apparently irreparable harm we are doing to our ecosystem, and improve the sustainability of the life of different species inhabiting the Earth's.  However, when it come to contemplating and debating the much bigger question of whether, ultimately, there is any hope for our human species.  Then, the answer, it seems to me, is that, no, there really is no hope. We are, indeed, doomed to be destroyed. And we have little or no control over that fate, which will be played out on a cosmic scale. But then, as far as us humans are concerned, it might not matter at all, as there probably will, would be no

'As a parent might talk to his or her children, so should the 'God' of humans be expected to converse with them, if they are to have a meaningful relationship between the one and the other.  If not, then what can be the point of the humans pretending that they are having a relationship with and serving 'God'? Of course, space is infinite, so, for the optimist, the unwavering 'faithful', the absence of tangible evidence of 'God', the absence of 'God' himself.  Might not suffice as proof of his non-existence. For them, 'God' could still be out there somewhere, in the darkness, the infinity of space.   Maintaining his preference for being unavailable and elusive. as far as us humans are concerned. If, as thousands of years of human history has taught us, 'God is a spirit.'   Having on only one occasion, according to the Christian gospel, make himself visible by taking on the form of humans, in the

The Sun God transversing the upper atmosphere and bringing life-giving and sustaining energy to all that liveth. With its resplendent and blinding gaze being shielded by the absorbing clouds, us humans can gaze upon her momentarily without being blinded by her at other times fiery brilliance.

'To see, understand and accept the fragility of the human condition, and the ultimately transitory nature of our destiny.   Is not to necessarily despair of it. Instead, we should probably welcome it with open arms, as it were.' 'So, is there any hope for us humans? For the more optimistic of us, there is a saying that, while there is life there is also hope.  This is to some extent a truism, or, if you prefer, an axiom, in that, unless the person or people or species whose fate we are contemplating, are actually standing with their backs to the wall.  Waiting, as it were, for the 'firing squad to discharge the means of their/our imminent demise.  Then, yes, there is in deed hope for us humans, as a survivable species.   All we need to do, is to collectively, nations working together, and drastic appropriate actions which would give us a chance of being successful. To be continued!

' No, if you 'God' does not or cannot talk to you, and do so in a language you and other people can hear and understand, then you really cannot know what, if anything, he requires of you!' Which is why I am doing this exposition from the the perspective of, let us say, 'An Anti-Christ.' Now, as I have previously stated, for those of us who open our hears and look with our eyes and sense with all our other senses, none of us, if we are honest, are able to declare that,  'we have seen 'God.' This should not be any great revelation, however, because, before we can see 'God', we much know what 'God' is and look like.  We must also be clear about where we expect to find 'God.'  'Heaven' is often spoken of as being the place where 'God' is to be found.   And, indeed, when the manned satellites ventured into space and Neil Armstrong landed on the Moon, many people might have wondered whe
