The Plague - Albert Camus


        The Plague is such a horrible scene in the world.Corona virus is the name of the 21st plague.But the plague has no relationship to religion.

HUMANITY - HUMAN SELF CENTERED V/S HUMAN SACRIFICES
    
            The innocent die as much as the guilty. To me, it is a masterpiece one of the great examples of timeless world literature.In a Way , I was in the situation of doctor Rieux at the very beginning of the story, convinced that the plague was completely gone.

          It asks a number of questions relating to the nature of destiny and the human condition.
   
                       The plague
                               |
                          Revolt
                               |
                        Struggle
SCIENCE V/S RELIGION -THE QUESTION OF GOD AND RELIGION IN TIMES OF EPIDEMIC AND CALAMITIES
                      
                 Albert Camus 'The plague' isn't about a future apocalyptic world, but the quarantine and death by disease of citizens in Algerian city of Oran.

               This was not a book, I was able to dig into and power read.It did take some time as the book is deep.

"But what does it mean , the plague? It's life, that's all."
"I realize we all have plague ........Each of us has the plague within him."

                 So, I also read this book in a contemporary context with all its dangers. Yet another plague year. So l am glad I read it , re inspired to face the worst, to act in love when l can manage, to resist passivity and bitterness and silence, to be part of the commitment to healing movements, with others, to the very end.

           " I'm not saint, that's obvious, but I'll do what I can......."
