Dear editor,
My letter is about the novel coronavirus.
If one views the entirety of nature as a living being, it is obvious that its existence is being gravely threatened and harmed by humans.
This living being is at risk of being completely destroyed. What could be more natural than that nature is trying to defend itself against this threat?
It has been proven that a group of trees utilizes a collective defense system against danger.
Perhaps all subdomains of nature communicate in a similar way and are developing a common defense strategy.
Humans view themselves as the ruler, and nature as their subject.
It is possible that we are now being undone by our own grave mistake.
The coronavirus is potentially one way in which nature, having been oppressed, is seeking to defend itself.
We still have the chance to acknowledge our deeds, to comprehend them, and to change.
