“And he knew, also, what the old man was thinking as his tears flowed, and he, Rieux, thought it too: that a loveless world is a dead world, and always there comes an hour when one is weary of prisons, of one's work, and of devotion to duty, and all one craves for is a loved face, the warmth and wonder of a loving heart.”
― Albert Camus, The Plague

At the antigen test centre Messe Wien in the 2nd district
This free testing takes place in three test centres in Vienna from 4 to 13 December. They have the capacity to test up to 150,000 people a day. But on the first day there were only 24,000 participants, and the following days this number was even lower.
Perhaps many people are deterred by the word Massentests (mass testing) and fear they might be infected at such a centre. This testing is so well organized however that there's absolutely no risk of being infected there.

If we don't assert our truth,
it may again be relegated to fantasy.
But the truth won't go away.
It will keep surfacing until it is recognized.
Truth will outlast any campaigns mounted against it,
no matter how mighty, clever, or long.
It is invincible.

S'il fallait apporter une preuve de notre nuisance envers le Monde, regardons simplement ses manifestations, comment en quelques jours seulement il avance face à nos reculades, reprenant les positions que le reste du temps nous nous acharnons à lui arracher, pour n'en rien faire.
Ce rouge-gorge par exemple, qui élit domicile dans mon bout de Terre, s'y installe, prend ses marques, jauge les occupants, disparaît quelques heures puis reparaît, s'affairant au gîte et au couvert.
Et par brefs moments prenant la pose, contact visuel établi, chacun semblant retenir son souffle pour ne pas briser la magie du dialogue muet.
Quand, dans quelques secondes, il prendra son envol, il laissera dans l'air la caresse de ses plumes, et le silence.

COVID-19 & UKRAINE-22 are Black Swans*.
No wonder that human society is so unstable world-wide right now.
We have experienced two Black Swans in three years.
* From:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_swan_theory
"Taleb's "black swan theory" refers...to unexpected events
of large magnitude and consequence and their dominant role in history.
Such events, considered extreme outliers, collectively play
vastly larger roles than regular occurrences."
Here is my suggested corollary to Black Swan Theory.
It is from the Robert Burns poem, "To a Mouse" -
"But Mouse, you are not alone,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best-laid schemes of mice and men
Go oft awry,
And leave us nothing but grief and pain,
For promised joy!"
