As homo sapiens, we are just “human nature,” a small part of big nature. We are smart, clever and industrious problem solvers. We are immensely curious and imaginative creatures at our best, which often leads us to be driven by arrogance.
An earthquake, a tsunami, an asteroid smashing into the earth and a spreading virus are all examples of just another day at the office for big nature. COVID-19 doesn’t have anything particular against us. It’s doing what a virus has evolved to do. We are just one organism battling another organism for survival. There are lots of these battles going on right now. We may currently be too distracted to notice.
We are fighting, dying, learning and adapting. This is the everyday drama of big nature.
