"A friend of mine recently shared with me the following text, whose author I do not know:
[Beginning of quote]
Something invisible arrived and put everything in its place. Suddenly, fuel prices went down, pollution has decreased, people started to have time, so much time that they don't even know what to do with it, parents are with their children and their families, work is no longer a priority, neither are travel and leisure. Suddenly, silently, we turn to ourselves and understand the value of the word solidarity, love, strength and faith.
In an instant, we realized that we are all in the same boat, rich and poor, that the supermarket shelves are empty and the hospitals full, and that the health insurance money paid for has no importance because private hospitals were the first ones to close.
High-end cars or old rust-buckets are both stopped in garages or car parks, simply because no one can go out. Half a dozen days were enough for the universe to establish the social equality that was said to be impossible to restore.
Fear invaded us all.
May this at least make us realize the vulnerability of human beings.
[End of quote]
As I said at the beginning, I don't know who wrote this, and the country it came from (this text can be, I don't know, the translation of a text written in any other human language) but that it is someone with a at least some common sense, it is absolutely undeniable. And, above all, his conclusion: "May this at least make us realize the vulnerability of human beings".
How much human vanity and arrogance are manifested so often in our world! How much contempt for God and spiritual realities! And suddenly, God ALLOWS a simple microorganism to spread and... EVERYONE IS PAYING ATTENTION!
"Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure." Psalms 2:1-5"
