In a mental way of perceiving, trying to temper wisdom ( even for a frog) with love, I would be tempted to think this is going to be long, and not as perhaps as pessimistic as Infinite, who is so wise though, taking a few more diseases and violence, I would feel yes it will take long but as peregrine says a few centuries, though not too many in optimist frog's way. Yet... on the other hand, what we wish and strive for is slow elimination of fear, which can only be replaced by relief and ultimately love, right ? But when we do see peaceful protests now going on world wide, even though some go for relief of quarantine, still... the threat of Virus is still there, and... still everywhere now, people congregate together, despite the fear of Covid, for a deeply loving wish to see a centuries bruised people allowed freedom and respect; that, when you think of it, means a great, great, huge by numbers, load of fears overcome by one truthful organic desire of help and love for each other. It means somewhere we arrive to faith, and faith of that many can move, yes, mountains..
interesting moments we live
I love all that.
In some ways Covid has been a freeing gift.
I have been active in dialogue with many people who were not happy with the status quo. When asked why they don’t protest it was always the same answer. My healthcare is tied to employment I cannot lose my job, or similar I cannot afford to miss work and lose my job.
Covid has been harsh but it has made us uncomfortable enough, insecure enough(health, prosperity, employment wise) that the reasons protest of the status quo could not happen are not enough to stop being done what needs to be done.
