On March 16, President Donald Trump
recommended social gatherings be limited to 10 people or less. Restaurants and
pubs have closed their doors and some are open only for pick-up. Office workers
are asked to work from home if they can. Today, Governor Cuomo announced
that no business can have more than 50% of their workforce report for work
outside of the home. Because of this, I will work at home starting tomorrow.
There were very few people on the street in Manhattan and Grand Central
Terminal today. It will be like a ghost town tomorrow.
Many
people may think that coronavirus is the worst enemy of humanity. Some people
even likened the current situation as another world war, but viruses or
microorganisms also have the life that comes from God. Rev. Masaharu Taniguchi
wrote, “As we now visualize the True Image of existence, we see that the life
of all living things, even to the smallest microorganism, is an outpouring of
God’s life. As long as they have life, all forms of life are expressions of
God. Thus no virus, bacteria, fungus, or protozoa can ever invade man and cause
him to fall ill. The belief that man comes under attack by microorganisms and
falls ill is nothing but a dream, nothing but an illusion.” (Truth of
Life magazine, June 2000)
In
nature, diversity is essential, and many different components work together in
the web of life so that everything operates like clockwork. If you remove the
given pieces, it no longer functions, and the whole structure collapses. Human
beings, however, have been killing many species for their own comfort and
convenience. The majority of us do not realize it and some are still killing
these species. We must stop it. This is not a virus attack but we have been
cutting our own life’s web by our own greed. If we learn from nature and
practice a way of life to live together with nature, we will be able to change
our world.
