Well.... I think that people have been manipulated for decades with the "fear" of illness and death and from 2020 this was massively reinforced with lies and deception by all those involved, which you also mentioned in your article, among others... in my opinion this was (and still is) a well thought out and long planned attack on people's psyche, reinforced by sometimes massive violence and restrictions in every conceivable way, which has left irreparable damage to much of humanity(has not only led to psychological, but also physical weakening - children and young people included), and which seems to have become a volatile and directionless activity - you could also say that "one fictional threat" spawns another, only to be refuted again by another newly discovered target of fear, and this has been going on for over 4 years now.... the majority of humanity has never really had "time" to think about their own "fears" or about a so-called "threat" - you could even call it a "culture of fear" - and the main reason for this, in my opinion, is that "organisations", media, politicians, institutions and their helpers/henchmen have far too much power and money at their disposal(where this comes from.... well there would be a lot of speculation about that, but there will never be confirmation).... corrupt, criminal, inhuman etc, are still auxiliary adjectives for me here.... thanks for another wonderful article - best wishes for you, your family and to everyone here!

Perhaps a bit strangely, I first noticed the "life is the greatest value" lie, when Albert Schweitzer wrote it. I guess, Nobel prizes must be earned...
You are absolutely right; it's the disposition that matters. Someone who has been conditioned to act out of fear, will always find an object to be afraid of.
Strangely, after 22 months, I lost about eight subscribers after writing about religion, which is weird, because I'm only asking epistemological and metaphysical questions (well, maybe, a bit of eschatology is added, too). I guess, reading comprehension was not these people's forte, or they just didn't like their own answers to my questions... I always prefer to have readers who can understand what they read and are able to think on their own without feeling insulted by their own boundaries...
Thank you, Mary-Ann.
I am copying our exchange here, just in case:
