As the coronavirus attacks globally, the earth is seemingly on resetting.
With the outbreak of the pandemic, humans have to give up their works temporarily and stay at home, hotel or hospital. The human society seems to be paused and grounded by the earth. On the other hand, the earth is intending to take back and rebuild its lost paradise. According to some American scientists, with a marked drop of human activity, the air pollution all the world today decreases by 30%-40%. While the coronavirus rages all the human beings and kills more than tens of thousands of the people, the air is getting more clear. Some wild animals are wandering at the street very cautiously and looking here and there curiously, just like children pay a visit to the zoo which prisons billions of human race.
In Wuhan, China, a mother wild boar shares her leisure time over the crossing bridge with her children. Hares and foxes are playing their predator and prayer games million years ago. But this time the battle is taking place in the steel and cement forest. A giant snake believes it's a good idea to build up its kingdom in the trunk of a car with flourishing mushrooms and wild green grasses which has been parked in the ground yard for more than one month.
In Thailand, hundreds of monkeys are running across the streets and taking foods in the idle shops for free. Thousands of beautiful pink jellyfish in Phillipan are regathering ashore ever since quarantine.
In Europe, deer,fox, boar and so on are cruising their territory which also belongs to them thousands years ago. Huge flocks of birds are celebrating and singing for their freedom in the sky, on the square and at the street. Even two days after the quarantine, the water in Venice is getting clear and dolphins are swimming at the "street" pleasantly. Grasses are trying to win their lives through the gaps of stones on Milan square.
In a word, the wild lives are enjoying a new world without pollutions, persecution and human race.
It looks like some kind of harsh and cruel joke. But unfortunately, it's true. With the development of the society, we human race are so proud and arrogant with our technology that we can not hold our crazy desire to rob from the earth. Due to greed and poverty, the hierarchy all the world disagreed with each other on the Global Climate Change Agreement in 2019. Although there is no evidence that the climate changing contributs to the pandemic, it can be safely concluded that the earth is attempting to purge by herself in a simple, rough but efficiency way. She tries to warn us by the inferior coronavirus with a killing of tens of thousands people and prisoning billions at home. And now we taste tears and death all across the world. Meanwhile, she also shows us how to get along with the nature or a world without human race.
Maybe someone argues that we human beings will win the war against the coronavirus finally. As a matter of fact, there is no winner in the face of the nature because she never minds who will survive under her sovereign at all.
But we do. And the pandemic also reminds us who is the actual boss on the earth. She is glad to see the freedom and prosperity of all kinds of livings, but on the other hand, she is ready to get back all we rob from her and terminate us at any time.
To die or not to die, that is the question.And the answer may entirely depend on our choice.
當新冠病毒襲擊全球的時候,地球似乎正在重啟。
隨著疫情的大爆發,人類不得不暫時放棄他們工作,留在家裡酒店或者醫院裡,地球似乎按下了暫停鍵,把人類社會囚禁了起來。另一方面,地球似乎在嘗試收回和重建她失去的天堂。根據一些美國科學家的說法,隨著人類活動的顯著下降,如今全球空氣汙染程度下降了30%到40%。當新冠病毒肆虐人間、成千上萬的人類死於這場疾病的時候,空氣卻在變得清新。一些野生動物小心翼翼的在大街上遊蕩,好奇的東瞧西望,就像小朋友們在逛動物園,只不過動物園裡現在囚禁的是數以十億計的人類。
在中國武漢,一頭母野豬帶著她的孩子在武漢的立交橋上享受休閒時光。野兔和狐狸在玩著他們幾百萬年來的獵食遊戲,只是這場戰爭發生在鋼筋水泥森林裡。一條大蛇相信把他的王國建在一輛長滿蘑菇和野草、在廣場上閒置了一個多月的汽車前部是一個不錯的主意。
在泰國,幾百隻猴子在街頭闖蕩,並且闖進商店裡,掠奪免費食品。在菲律賓,人類隔離後幾千隻美麗的粉色水母再次聚集在一起。
在歐洲,鹿、狐狸、野豬等等動物在他們的新領土上巡視,這些領土幾千年前也曾經屬於他們,無數隻鳥在天空中,在廣場上,在街道上歡慶、歡唱他們的自由。即便隔離才實行了兩天,威尼斯的海水就變清澈了,海豚遊進了威尼斯,在「街頭巷尾」暢遊。米蘭廣場上的野草努力從石頭縫中生長出來以獲得新生。
一句話,野生生物正在享受沒有汙染,沒有迫害,沒有人類的新世界。
這聽上去像某種刺耳而又殘酷的玩笑。遺憾的是,這是真的。
隨著社會的發展,我們人類對自己的技術如此驕傲自大,以至於我們貪無止境,瘋狂的從大自然中掠奪資源。由於貪慾和貧窮,各國統治者在2019年的全球氣候變化協議上無法達成共識。雖然沒有證據證明新冠病毒和氣候變化有關,但是地球正在嘗試用她自己簡單粗暴而又有效的方式來進行自我清潔。她試圖讓新冠病毒以殺戮成千上萬的人以及數十億人類自我囚禁的方式警告我們。如今我們嘗到了血淚的滋味。
與此同時,她也向我們展示人類該如何與自然相處,或者一個沒有人類的世界是怎樣的。也許有人認為我們人類終將戰勝新冠病毒。但是事實上,在大自然面前沒有任何贏家,因為在大自然的統治下,她根本就不在乎誰會最終活下來。但我們在乎。而這場大流行也在提醒我們誰才是地球上真正的老闆。地球樂見各種生命的自由成長和繁榮,但是她也隨時準備把我們從他那裡奪走的東西收回,並終結我們的生命。
生或死,這是個問題。也許答案完全取決於我們的選擇。
