Holden,
Please write when you can. The priority is your health and your work.
A shooter killed 21 people in Thailand? I would not want to be a victim surely. I read somewhere that Stalin confessed to Winston Churchill that 10,000,000 people died as a result of the collectivisation of agriculture in the former Soviet Union.
How many babies were born every minute? I read in theworldcounts.com that 2,080,393 were born since the beginning of this week. In due time they will be killed. What about the children working in the coal mines in Meghalaya, India? Parents look at their babies and they will never think they might die a horrible death. What you don't know can´t kill you, some say.
Men and women are demonic creatures in this demonic world. Homo hominis lupus. Money is the god of this world is a sentence taken from John Carpenter´s movie They live We sleep. I read a quote by the Spanish conquistador of Mexico, Hernan Cortes (1485-1547), who said that “We Spaniards know a sickness that only gold can cure.” Different times, the same sickness, the same god(s).
This human farm is controlled by money, religion and sex. I should also add these terrible diseases spread by the Plague of Athens (probably typhus fever), the Antonine Plague, the Plague of Cyprian, the Plague of Justinian (Yersinia pestis), (541-542), Black Death, Spanish flu, HIV/AIDS, Legionnaire´s disease, Ebola, hantavirus, SARS, etc., and now this coronavirus. Again this human farm must be kept frightened at all times.
The dark gods from time to time slaughter the human cattle. But the slaughter is carried out in a careful manner because tax revenues may decline. In the times of the Plague of Justinian it was recorded that 5,000 people were killed daily. On the Black Death (Yersinia pestis), in Europe in the Middle Ages, medicine was not advanced so if you were unfortunate to contract it the priests told you to pray, pray and pray. It was a punishment from the divine abode. I remember the scene of the Seventh Seal where the flagellants punish themselves.
As you say there is no protection against evil. Thank you for your advice. I would like to hide in a cave but even there I will be struck.
Stay safe.
Below you and others may find this link interesting. It is called Russell´s egg (El huevo de Russell) with subtitles in Spanish.
