My cousin in Norway has a six year old daughter. She's currently sick with pneumonia. Both her lungs are infected.
While sad, this doesn't come as a surprise. The girl has been constantly sent to the hospital for even the smallest of ailments. Pictures of the girl have often been with her mask on. She got her vaccine shot some four months ago, just to be on the safe side.
This is the sort of over-protection that leads to serious illness, and we're finally there.
The girl will recover. I have no doubt about that. She's a strong and healthy looking girl. Nature has provided well for her. It's her parents that are posing a threat to her health.
Interestingly, her parents are no imbeciles. My cousin is a professor of psychology at the University of Oslo. His wife is also a doctorate. There's no lack of intelligence. However, there's clearly a lack of faith in nature's ability to fix things.
This lack of faith is everywhere these days. There are the technocrat buffs who refuse to believe that anything but manmade structures are safe. Then there's the gloom and doom gang who are convinced that all the technocrat buffs will die.
They are both wrong, of course. Nature is immense, and modern science is not nearly as advanced as the technocrat buffs believe. However, nature is also pro-life. People can take an awful lot of poison and still end up fine. A lack of faith in nature doesn't mean that nature itself will give up on us.
Only one thing is certain. Nature will surprise and delight us. It will also scare us and humble us. Those with faith in nature will be rewarded, and those who repeatedly go against nature will meet God in some uncomfortable way.
To be on the right side of this division, we need to have faith in nature. Hope and love goes a long way too. Once again, it turns out that Jesus had it right.
