Hug your grandparents. It’ll make you feel love. Avoid those who lie, as it’ll make you feel betrayed to persist tolerance with their activities. We are human.

Loved the transition to IRL, reality is stranger than fiction sometimes. No matter how we believe the tragedy happens, it does. And it’s our personal responsibility to understand this and prepare for its outcomes. 2And Jesus said to them, ... 4“Or do you suppose that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them were worse culprits than all the men who live in Jerusalem? 5“I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.”

Godzilla is also a metaphor for nuclear power which is why the early Godzilla movies he is the bad guy, because of the Hiroshima bomb, but in the later movies he is the good guy, because Japan now relies on nuclear power for a huge percent of it's energy.

Why would it be wild? Biological warfare is real, the Chinese government is far less ethical than many other governments on our planet, so why wouldn't the Chinese government try to create a virus like COVID to use as a weapon?

I want to point out that a big part of ancient Chinese mythology was also a Great Flood, but the cause usually was not said to be supernatural. And the mythical Emperor Yu built dams to stop the floods, founding the Xia dynasty. This mythos is seen as a testament to civilization conquering and regulating nature.

Norway's a fun study in this sort of subject: Our kings were for the most part seen as responsible for disasters *before* the Christening. In Ynglingasaga there's a king called Dómaldi who was sacrificed by bloð* due to bad crops. This was regarded as an ultimate sacrifice, as they had tried sacrificing several other animals before then. Worth remarking is how everything went back to normal in the following crop cycle. *(we presume bloð means to cut their throat on a sacrificial stone and bleed them, and then do rituals with that blood)

"Everything that has a beginning has an end" The Oracle said.
