We are not to blame.

Coping

TL;DR - drunken rant.

What we have done to the planet and the animals on it is abhorrent, utterly! I just learnt of an animal called the Thylamine, also known as the Tasmanian Tiger or Tasmanian Wolf. It was a sort of canine marsupial with a pouch like kangaroos, and we killed it.

As horrible as it is, I think that this virus is Mother Natures way of trying to balance the scales. Of course that is very simplistic and perhaps a supernatural way of looking at things, but nature likes balance and corrects itself. What we have done, well, what the capitalists and psychopathic leaders have done, is immoral and irreprehensible.

I believe we are inherently good but we have been coerced by the powers that be since the beginning of large civilisations but they've used our tribalistic nature and instincts against us for their own benefit. It isn't our fault, we were duped on a societal scale. We have mistreated the animals, the plants, the planet as a whole, and ourselves because of things they wanted. The people that rule crave power and subservience, they always have and always will, and this is their fault.

They continue to put their best interests at heart, economy before people, money before life, greed before love, and it will be the undoing of us all.

Yeah I'm drinking rn and I agree with you. I hope this causes society to wake up but I doubt it

Thylacine** and do not transfer faux human morals to mother earth. That is a complete egotistical cop out and failure to wear the awesome mantle of nature's rhythms and laws.

They won't survive this. So I would not feel bad about it other than accepting that you cared about humanity as a part of the biosphere.
