Now it’s clear.
GDP, economy, growth, prosperity, wealth, progress were all false figures.
Covid-19 may have more falsehood, faulty tests and cures, but the air is clean and the poisoned atmosphere may be healing just a little bit for a while at least.
So GDP and economists may not mean anything much if we were killing the environment, ecology, flora and fauna all these years.
All our dear presidents, prime ministers, delegates converging and meeting annually in five star hotels with luxury cars and chartered planes in tow, couldn’t achieve what fear and panic of nature’s fury has done in the first half of 2020. The water bodies like streams, rivers, lakes, seas, oceans are also just a bit more clean. The isolated beaches have seen return of sea life, birds, insects, turtles, jellyfish tours, dancing dolphins, and the cities have seen wild animals paying a regular visit as if something is wrong with the world. No, something is not wrong, but has been put right by an invisible force, if only for a small period of time.
So before we return to madness, normalcy, GDP, let’s just reduce our economic figures drastically to realistic levels, and concentrate on human population control and basic necessities and comforts of life.
We should also make our luxuries illegal forever, or the earth may go up in smoke in just 40 or 50 years. Yes the situation is so bad.
