Life in time of coronavirus

Is this virus a product of a natural mutation or has been created in a laboratory? What would the lesson be on each scenario?
In the first case we would have to admit that we are not able to control everything as the scientific propaganda would like. A small virus can create the chaos at global level.
In the second scenario we would have to admit that our will of power can take us to a catastrophe.
Whatever the cause is, the consequence is a general panic and fear which will allow The Power to increase digital control. People will willingly give up freedom in exchange of safety. Another consequence is that big financial institutions will take advantage of economic recession buying assets cheaply.
The only hope is that some people will understand the importance of spiritual development, the importance of social interaction, the fact that we are in relation with the environment, that we cannot control everything, the danger of our will of power.
     

Can Hugs save the world?

We live in a society where we are constantly under pressure to improve, to expand our power as a species. It is said that it is in our nature, that is why we have moved from stone age to the present where we are working to explore the galaxy. However I am questioning if this is true. We have example of tribes still living like our ancestors used to do. I think we certainly have the curiosity to explore and discover, but where this thirst for power comes from? Why do we need to conquer? Is it in our nature because it gives us pleasure or is it the symptom of something lacking?
I think it is a way to overcome the void we feel inside due to the lack of love and primal care we experience since we are children in a long chain of abuses of any kind.
Maybe we should simply go back to the basic of simple care to save humankind and the planet where we live. 

Death and technology

Nowadays people have switched their faith to science and technology hoping to get immortality and defeat death. But is this not another illusion to go against our destiny of being mortals?
Can cyborgs still be considered humans? If we upload somebody's mind in a cloud and then put it in robots, can we still say that he/she is still the same person?
What about all the information that we are unconscious of or are stored in our cells?
Finally, are we considering all the risks related to modifying people genetically?
In the crazy search for immortality we risk to put an end to humanity and destroy the planet. 

L'oblio dell'Essere

Heidegger diceva che l'uomo ha dimenticato l'Essere. Io penso che l'uomo si e' ingabbiato nelle citta' cincondandosi di oggetti che lui stesso ha prodotto e si dimentica di domandarsi da dove tutto cio' viene. Solo il contatto con la natura che cresce spontaneamente ci permette di non dimenticarci dell'Essere, a patto che restiamo aperti alla contemplazione e al domandare.
Perche' gli enti di natura sono spontaneamente cosi'? Perche' ci sono invece del niente?
Solo se sorgono queste domande e ci apriamo all'ignoto siamo anche in grado di prenderci cura delle cose e degli enti di natura. 

The Church and the Environment

Pope Francis has recently said that God created nature which should be taken care and not destroyed by us humans. However it is written in the Bible that Man is at the centre of creation and must dominate on everything else. It is also written that Man was created at God's image and it has been interpreted as superior to any other living being.
He is trying to change this interpretation following Saint Francis but I think it will take a lot of time, if ever possible, to consider all beings as equal as humans because we are all part of the same Whole, or all creations of God as some religions say.
Only then we might come up with an ethic that consider nature worthy. But even now we should realize that we are destroying the planet and we are going too far. I fear that it will soon be too late! 

The Being as possibilities

If we look at Being as a static object we could assume that we could grasp a kind of truthful principle that might explain how the universe works. However we can also think Being as infinite equal possibilities, the ones that materialize and the ones that don't.
If we imagine and think Being as such it would not be possible to grasp, calculate, control or manipulate everything as we would always be subject to the unknown.
This has a great ethical implication, we can and we should know more but we will never get to know everything and there will always be a possibility which we did not considered and had not the chance to control. 
However this does not imply that we are free to create reality which instead comes from the Being.
Freedom can only be assumed but not demonstrated.  

Can we explain the mystery with a mathematical formula?

Some scientist think that everything can be explained with a short mathematical formula. When the universe was born, how life started, how the universe works, how our mind works, etc..., anything can be reduced to a formula. Beneath this there is the idea that we can grasp the mystery of life and that it can be calculated and put under control. But can we really reduce mind and life to a mathematical formula? Can we really put ourselves at the very beginning?
Why cannot we accept that we are limited beings within the infinite? Of course we can try to explain as mush as possible but we will always get to a point where we run out of words, where we face the abyss. Then we must let it go and abandon to the mystery.
