There was nothing much we could do, because this brutal global lockdown was performed "for our own good". We found ourselves sheltered in prison, 'so we, and others, could survive'. Or that's what we were told.
We have not been allowed to take risks, nor to dare. Our loved ones have not been allowed to dare, either.
We have all become soft, and so easy to manipulate. All that talk about freedom and democracy has quickly been forgotten.
In just one or two months, our planet has become fragmented, as never before. Borders have been closed, even between the countries of Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East.
Europeans, for instance, who were forced into great sacrifices in exchange for a borderless continent, were suddenly stuck with those existing sacrifices, but also with the re-erected frontiers.
With shocking speed, all the gains made by humanity - gains towards an open world - were annulled, liquidated.
I have to repeat: people were not asked. Nobody consulted them.
