But what does humility come to do on March 27 when our world is plagued by a virus that has no use for our virtues? Well, precisely because all countries are affected by a pandemic, in other words by a microscopic enemy who reshuffles the cards of power and domination. Because this virus seems to play with our fears by transforming itself over the variants. The more we have the impression of knowing it, the more it changes. This does not prevent the new experts in Covid from telling us their truths, often denied a few days later. There is obviously no bad opportunity to try to impose yourself, if only by the verb. It is rather on the side of the elected that we begin to register in a process of humility. No doubt because, in the field, they are perfectly aware of our weaknesses and sufferings.
Humility again? Yes, and without the slightest connection. Imagine a ship, only one, a container ship, admittedly giant, stuck in the Suez Canal. On its own, it blocks the crossing point of 12% of world trade. All because of a gust more violent than the others. A single ship sows panic on the markets, to the point of making oil prices jump. To the point of forcing the largest shipping companies to add 6,000 kilometers and a week of navigation to their ships.
A tiny virus on one side, a strong gale on the other, and all our certainties are undermined. The natural elements like to be remembered with our fond memories. And the phenomenal progress that we are registering, fortunately, particularly in the fields of science and medicine, will do nothing. This will never prevent a very human tendency to want to dominate the world and nature, without a particular appetite for humility. A demanding virtue, often considered inaccessible, even incomprehensible.
