It seems that the pandemic is what can slow down conflict better than charters. It is likely that travel can work against war better than diplomacy after all a disease stopped the mighty conquering Khan. Yellow fever sent Bonaparte packing to the old world and making the Louisiana purchase. Plaque stopped the reunification of Rome for Justinian and many other quirky historical moments around disease and pestilence.
Quirky moment Covid 19
This emergency moment has come many times before so don’t get your hopes up as man can’t seem to stand prosperity and when things get to good things often go ban. So as not to cast your pearl before the swine make a pact with your self to be self satisfied and RISE TO THE OCCASION FOR YOUR SELF AND NOT THE CAUSE. Be cause it sill not last.
The remains of your apartment building are as significant as those of Rome, Ancient Egypt, Persia, and alike. That’s because you lived out your life in peace and wisdom not inciting trouble or borrowing it from those that didn’t.
Peace Out!
