When I come across news coming from countries like China, I usually take it with a pinch of deeprock-salt. The amount of propaganda we are subjected to, even on a daily basis, is simply staggering. How much of it's true, and how much is contorted? God only knows. "Who benefits from this?" - is what I would ask myself when considering news such as the coronavirus-outbreak. The only thing we can do from where we all are is evaluate our own sanitary habits, keep doing what works, and keep keeping on. (if only it were that simple, ey?) RIP to family members and friends whom are affected.
I used to let this black-pill stuff really get be down, but honestly if you think about it: any amount of anxiety and fear you would be inflicting upon yourself in anticipation of some sort of imminent global catastrophe, like nuclear holocaust, or chem-trails of coronavirus, only fricks up your capacity to live serenely in the present. Not to mention the absolute futility thereof!
I have forfeited a whole lot of opportunities in the (relatively near)past, because of the black-pill ideology and what it had done to me. "Where do we go when the bombs fall?" - does it really matter? You'll be dead, and that's that. So seize the day, and do what makes you happy, I guess.
I am fully aware that this ignorant nihilism is simply a coping mechanism for the sheer horror of staring into the abyss, and we are all likely going to die, but I'll be damned if I go out of this world, corona-ridden lungs, irradiated, and starving, and I fall knowing I didn't live a day in my life, because of fear.
