Imagine Taking COVID-19 to Court

Here is a mock trial with the virus to provide some clarity ....

Coronavirus: Hello everyone. Are you wondering why I came into your lives? I came to teach you to be more considerate of each other, to rise from your current state to a better one, otherwise you'll have to remain disconnected from each other. Because if you cannot be more considerate of each other, and treat each other nicely, you'll continue to be isolated from each other, each in his/her apartment.

Lawyer: The lockdown is already over.

Coronavirus: This is what you decided, but it's not right. Based on everything we're seeing it's far from over. You are still obligated to sit apart from each other.

Lawyer: What's the connection?

Coronavirus: The disconnect that's been forced on you is to protect you from each other's bad thoughts.

Coronavirus: The disconnect that's been forced on you is to protect you from each other's bad thoughts.

Lawyer: Do we have any habits related to this?

Coronavirus: Lots.

Lawyer: What for example?

Coronavirus: Negative or positive?

Lawyer: Negative.

Coronavirus: When you look at each other, each of you cancels the other in a negative way.

Lawyer: You'll have to explain what it means to cancel someone ....

Coronavirus: It means that people can't look at the other nicely. For example, the way we look at, and appreciate a small child.

Lawyer: Why? On what do you base your remarks?

Coronavirus: On the ego; each of you is immersed in your ego.

Lawyer: What do you mean when you say ego?

Coronavirus: The ego is a desire to enjoy, to receive only for myself and not for others.

Lawyer: And how does that even relate to the way you look at someone else?

Coronavirus: Because the worse it is for others, the better for me.

Lawyer: It sounds a bit crazy.

Coronavirus: No, that's the truth. Otherwise I wouldn't have come at all.

Lawyer: I can't grasp the logic of what you're saying. You say that the more people suffer, the better it is for the person who sees them suffer?

Coronavirus: Right. Because if they're suffering, then in contrast I'm not suffering.

Lawyer: I don't get it, but let's put it aside for a moment. You said, we need to develop a new perspective of the people around us? What did you mean by that?

Coronavirus: Changing through habit. There is a law in nature that says, 'habit becomes second nature'. This means that if I get used to something, it comes naturally after a while.

Lawyer: Can you define the change for me, from which perspective to which perspective do I need to move?

Coronavirus: From hatred to love.

Lawyer: Hate for whom? Who hates whom?

Coronavirus: Hatred of others. It's between you.

Lawyer: Well then what's the problem with a person who may or may not hate me?

Coronavirus: You basically hate them all at some level.

Lawyer: I don't agree with this generalization. I only hate very specific people.

Coronavirus: And if you just disregard them and don't care about others - isn't that hate? To me it's all hate.

Lawyer: Let’s move on to a more practical area. Please give us three examples of new habits we need to adopt to be in a better position in the near future. What's the first?

Coronavirus: First let's try to treat others well, because we're in one system and dependent on each other, connected to each other. We can stabilize each other by making the atmosphere friendly. Then I'll have to leave because my role will be over.

Lawyer: What's the second habit?

Coronavirus: Getting to a point where everyone treats others with the respect they want for themselves, and being connected with others in an optimal way. Not because of me, but out of the awareness that this will lead to a better way of life. Because if everyone takes care of everyone, then things get better for everyone -- mentally, psychologically and materially.

Lawyer: And the third example.

Coronavirus: In the first two examples we acquired the ability to take care of others and the reward for that is knowing how to care of myself. That's the best part.

Lawyer: I have noted the three examples you recommended. I'll get back to my client and see what he wants to do; go for a plea deal, or not admit that he's at fault.
