You may feel tired of reading, listening, watching and talking about issues related to the global pandemic.

People regard death as the end of the world for them., whether secular or religious.
The human experience of the ‘world’ consists of consciousness inter-acting with sense objects and the mind.
The world seems to consist of a world of diversity of things and diversity of views about things.
One view might claim we all live in the same world and another views claims we live in different worlds.
Claims of what is true, half true and false abound.
