Maybe in Another Universe, We’re All Better Human Beings

I hope this quarantine period brings us closer to that universe

Have you heard about the Theory of Parallel Universe? This is a concept in Astro-Physics claiming there are billions of other universes in the outer space beside our own. All the choices we made and will make, in this life are played out in the alternate realities.

We are all far away from that Utopian universe wherein the perfect versions of ourselves exist. True or not, this brings me to my question.

What if this quarantine period we are experiencing right now brings us closer to a version of the universe wherein all the human beings are way better than who they are right now?

By “better” I mean, more respectful of other people, of the environment, and of the government. Much smarter, wiser, and emotionally stable. More physically healthy and financially sufficient.

The Coronavirus pandemic has pushed the governments to lock down its citizens at home for their own
