Do you see the World changing for the better once the threat of Covid-19 has left us?

We are all hoping that Covid-19 will become a distant memory, and there is a view that when we are out of the other side, the world will have changed for the better.


What are your views?

I've just come across this and thought I would share:

“And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still. And listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently.

"And the people healed. And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal.

"And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live and heal the earth fully, as they had been healed."


Lovely sentiments and perhaps some hope that the world will change for the better. Who knows...

The climate has been changing since the Ice Age ended, so what is it that people don't understand about that? It's called, 'natural phenomena,' or 'nature.
As far as climate change activists are concerned, they should be ashamed of themselves.
All dancing around there plastic Tesco bags and leaving a mountain of rubbish in their wake for others' to clear up. Piddling up against anything that doesn't move.
They don't mind using cars, buses, motor bikes, or anything else with an engine to get them to where they want to be, to cause as much inconvenience as possible to as many people as possible.
Traffic jams everywhere and an ambulance on 'blue light' emergency unable to move.
Back in the 60's, these people would have been called "bloody hippies" and told to get a 'proper job.' Those hippies were calling for 'peace' and 'love' and were on a different level, compared to this mob of brain dead morons.
Nowadays, there's a better name for them and I will not repeat it!
The biggest problem that the world faces, is the interference by mankind against anything.
You name it and mankind must interfere with it.
Be it nature, horticulture, animal kingdom and indeed anything else that you can think of.
Yes, you can be sure that the biggest threat to anything and everything, is the 'know all' interfering abomination called 'mankind.'
Leave things alone and STOP INTERFERING!

No I do not. Nothing during my lifetime has changed the world for the better. Human nature and big business always take over. So things will just go back to the way they were although we may have a cleaner world for a few months.
