There are probably going to be a lot of divorces coming from this time of being forced to stay at home, 24/7 together, unless we understand that we are all sick, mentally and emotionally, due to the situation.
We must all perceive this as a period of global mental illness, where everyone may say horrible things that they do not mean. It’s like a disease that makes you argue, and become so hyper-sensitive, imagining things, and exploding irrationally.
We must be strong enough to take it from each other without taking it personally, like you would take care of a sick person in pain who is lashing out at you, then forgive them for their temporary insanity. Likewise, know that you are doing the same thing, equally under the stress of this mental pressure.
This is a time when becoming a cloud as in our previous article, is so vital to our survival.
Everyone takes pressure in a different way, and some cannot take much pressure before they crack. Let’s assume it is your fault. The stress of being incarcerated at home, fear of financial stress, it’s all too much.
Actually it’s not your fault, it’s the fault of life creating a situation like humanity has never seen before. Yes, there have been pandemics, but we have never had the world economy shut down and restrict almost the entire world to their home. It’s worse than any war.
This is a new situation for humanity, globally. It’s going to make everyone crazy to some degree. We may soon see mass violence and crime, maybe or maybe not, but in some countries crime will definitely increase when we are let out, there will be no other way for people to survive without a job. In less violent or impoverished countries, the attacks will be verbal. We will see a lot of divorces and a lot of babies being born.
My advice is to have more sex and tire yourselves out. I think that is the best advice I can give. Adapt to the new world of isolation and take this time to get closer to the ones you love, find pleasures and pastimes with each other.
Just remember, an animal in pain will bite the hand that tries to heal it. Humans are still animals, and now that we are all put in a cage, that animal nature is going to get stronger and more aggressive because it has all the energy building up that it usually can vent in the day to day routine, but now can’t.
Vent it in loving passion, in exercise, in creativity, in self-reflection.
